Abstract

Abstract

The main components of wind turbine aerodynamic noise were introduced firstly. Then a detailed review was addressed about the theoretical prediction, experimental measurement and numerical simulation methods of wind turbine noise, with specific attention to the application aspect. Furthermore, suppression techniques for wind turbine aerodynamic noise were discussed. And the perspective of future research on wind turbine aerodynamic noise was presented finally.
