This two-day colloquium addresses the urgent scientific and technological challenges posed by the EU’s ambitious goal to expand offshore wind energy nearly 30-fold by 2050. Focusing on the complex turbulent wakes generated by wind turbines and their impact on efficiency, fatigue, and farm viability, the event brings together experts from turbulence research, wind energy, and industry. Key topics include wake entrainment, high-fidelity simulations and experiments, multiscale wake dynamics, and interactions with atmospheric turbulence. The workshop fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange to improve wake modeling and support the design of more efficient and resilient wind farms for a sustainable energy future.
