Assessment of Turbulence Modelling in the Wake of an Actuator Disk with a Decaying Turbulence Inflow

Assessment of Turbulence Modelling in the Wake of an Actuator Disk with a Decaying Turbulence Inflow

The characteristics of the turbulence field in the wake produced by a wind turbine model are studied. To this aim, a methodology is developed and applied to replicate wake measurements obtained in a decaying homogeneous turbulence inflow produced by a wind tunnel. In this method, a synthetic turbule...
