1. 1. Simplified modeling of wind-farm flows

   University essay from KTH/Strömningsfysik

   Author : Raphael Ebenhoch; [2015]
   Keywords : Wind tunnel; Blockage effect; Numerical wake model; Linearized RANS; Linearized actuator-disc theory; Internal boundary layer; Dispersive stresses; Simplied CFD model;

   Abstract : Abstact: In order to address the wind-industry's need for a new generation of more advanced wake models, which accurately quantify the mean flow characteristics within a reasonably CPU-time, the two-dimensional analytical approach by Belcher et al. (2003) has been extended to a three-dimensional wake model. READ MORE
