Prof. Castillo expertise in the area of turbulence as applied to wind energy and wind farm performance on scaled down experiment shed new light in our understanding of the role of Reynolds stresses on energy entrainment. He looks at boundary layer interactions with blades and with wind turbines in wind tunnels, and small turbines in field studies.
