  • Abstract
    In this paper, specifics of impact of sea shore environment on vertical wind shear and congruently on flicker in wind turbine which is sited on that surface is reverberated. This is achieved in a laboratory wind tunnel with artificial surfaces created in a wind tunnel. The various surfaces imitated in the wind tunnel are sea sand of various sizes. Wind turbine is tested for these diverse types of surface roughness. Empirical model of flicker reflecting vertical wind shear at sea shore is established. Conjectures made while proposing the empirical model are reverberated. Boundary verges of the projected empirical model are echoed. Comparative graphs of flicker initiated due to vertical wind shear because of various sizes of sands on the seashore are portrayed. Values of flicker with projected empirical model and flicker from wind tunnel test are closer.
