Momentum balance in a fully developed boundary layer over a staggered array of NREL 5MW rotors

3D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of a fully developed wind farm boundary layer over a staggered array of NREL 5MW turbines are presented. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk and as a fully resolved rotor to compare the effect of the turbine model on the wind farm aerodyna...
