umerical simulation of atmospheric boundary layer and wakes of horizontal-axis wind turbines
Simulations of wind turbine wakes are presented in this paper using the three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations employing the k-e turbulence model appropriately modified for the atmospheric flows. The actuator disk approach is used to model the action of the turbine rotor....
