The focus of this work is specifically on wind turbines, where the aerodynamics are different from that of other fields due to the turbulent wind fields they face and the resultant differences in structural requirements. It gives a complete picture of research in the field, taking into account the different approaches which are applied. This book will be useful to professionals, academics, researchers and students working in the field. UR - http://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio14277656 ER -
