Evaluation of Tip Loss Corrections to AD/NS Simulations of Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Performance

The Actuator Disc/Navier-Stokes (AD/NS) method has played a significant role in wind farm simulations. It is based on the assumption that the flow is azimuthally uniform in the rotor plane, and thus, requires a tip loss correction to take into account the effect of a finite number of blades. All exi...
