Short abstract: The fundamental aerodynamic interactions between a pair of wind lenses is experimentally investigated. In prior work, wind tunnel testing of lensed turbines in a side-by-side configuration revealed that one lensed turbine outperformed its counterpart in terms of power production.

Short abstract: The aerodynamic interactions between two lens profiles that lead to a net increment in power of 10% from a wind lens turbine (WLT) is quantified. The lens wake interactions as a function of normalized distance (x/d) is investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) as well as hotwire anemometry for three pairs of lens profiles with different geometries.
