Effect of Grid Topology on Numerical Simulations of Flow Fields around Wind Turbine Nacelle Anemometer

In this paper, the effect of mesh topology on the numerical predictions of the immediate near wake region of a horizontal axis wind turbine is investigated. The present work focuses on the nacelle anemometry measurements. Steady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are applied to describ...
