Validation of a Large-Eddy Simulation Approach for Prediction of the Ground Roughness Influence on Wind Turbine Wakes

The ability of high-fidelity computational fluid mechanics simulation to quantitatively predict the influence of ground roughness on the evolution of the wake of a three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine model is tested by comparison with wind tunnel measurements. The approach consists of the impl...
