COLLEGE: Linacre College

Biography

Miss Zheni Fei completed her first degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, and graduated with a first class in 2021. The following year, she did a master's course at Imperial College London in Aeronautical Computational Methods and graduated with distinction. In 2023, she joined the University of Oxford for a DPhil in wind farm aerodynamics.

Research Interests

  • Turbine wakes
  • Wind farm/array wakes
  • Local and global blockage effect in wind farms
  • Turbulence modelling in turbine wakes

Research Projects

Analytical model of a single turbine wake

This study derives analytical solutions to find the start of the far wake for a single turbine wake and computes the far-wake recovery over a range of inflow turbulence intensities and local blockage ratios.

Analytical wake model of a row of turbines

This study prediects how the wake of multiple turbines interact, develop and eventually recovers.
