MEXICO Wind Tunnel and Wind Turbine modelled in CFD

August 1, 2011

The MEXICO Experiment is reproduced in CFD, including the geometry of the wind tunnel and the wind turbine rotor. The wind turbine is modelled both as a full rotor and as an actuator disc. Various questions regarding the wind tunnel effects on the measurements are investigated. As in a previous work carried out without modelling the wind...

Comparison of the Near Wake of Different Kinds of Wind Turbine CFD Models

June 6, 2011

Abstarct Most wind farm wake CFD models are based on the actuator disc (AD) or the actuator line (AL) models to estimate the influence of the wind turbine on the atmospheric flows, while full rotor (FR) computations are usually used to estimate accurately the loads and power production of wind turbines. reverse...
