Abstract:
A wind turbine may include a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower and a rotor coupled to the nacelle. The rotor may include a hub and at least one rotor blade extending from the hub. In addition, the wind turbine may include a nozzle mounted on or within the tower, the nacelle or the hub. The nozzle may include an inlet and an outlet. Moreover, the nozzle may be configured to accelerate a flow of fluid through the outlet such that an ultrasonic sound emission is produced by the nozzle.
