The wake of horizontal axis wind turbines can significantly affect the aerodynamic characteristics of downstream wind turbines in a wind farm. However

traditional wake analysis methods

which are based on mathematical or actuator line models

struggle to capture the detailed vortex structure characteristics of wind turbine wakes

and neglect the influence of actual turbulent environments. Therefore

in this paper

the computational fluid dynamics method is used to study the wake aerodynamic characteristics of the full-scale NREL 5 MW wind turbine in turbulent wind field

and the rotor speed control of the wind turbine in turbulent wind is considered. The results indicate that the output power of the wind turbine varies with the fluctuations of turbulent winds

and appropriate rotor speed control can better extract wind energy. Turbulent winds facilitate the recovery of wake velocity deficit. The lateral and longitudinal meandering of the wake positively correlates with the fluctuations in the flow direction and vertical direction of turbulent winds. Additionally

the breakdown of the tip vortex accelerates the recovery of velocity in the wake region.
