Abstract:Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are considered the proper tool for predicting the physics of a wind turbine wake, thereby establishing a solid foundation for investigating the interaction among floating turbines within wind farms. In this work the Actuator Line Model, implemented in the OpenFoam environment, is combined with both U-RANS and LES simulations to underline the differences in accuracy when reproducing the near and far wake of a single turbine. Both a fixed-bottom and a surge motion case are tested to … Show more
