Full Downwind Turbine Simulations Using Actuator Line Method

In the present work the actuator line (AL) technique is proposed to model a complete wind turbine (rotor and tower) in downwind configuration. The case study used is the Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiment (UAE) Phase VI turbine to analyze its suitability in capturing the tower shadow effect. Computati...
