2. 1. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes and wake interaction : Optimization and control

   Author : Karl Nilsson; Dan Henningson; Stefan Ivanell; Martin O. L. Hansen; KTH; []
   Keywords : Actuator disc method; Actuator line method; Blade element momentum method; Wind turbine wake; Wake interaction; CFD; LES; EllipSys3D;

   Abstract : In the present thesis the wake flow behind wind turbines is analyzed numerically using large-eddy simulations. The wind turbine rotors are modeled by using either the actuator disc method or the actuator line method in which the blades are represented by body forces computed with airfoil data. READ MORE

4. 2. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes

   Author : Stefan S. A. Ivanell; Dan Henningsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Applied mechanics; Wind Energy; Wind Turbine; Wake; Circulation; Vortex; CFD; EllipSys3D; Actuator line; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Numerical simulations using CFD methods are performed for wind turbine applications. The aim of the project is to get a better understanding of the wake behaviour, which is needed since today’s industrial design codes for wind power applications are based on the BEM (Blade Element Momentum) method.

5. 3. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes

   Author : Stefan S. A. Ivanell; Dan Henningson; Peinke Joachim; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Actuator Line Model; Actuator Disc Model; Wind Turbine Wake; CFD; LES; EllipSys3D; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : Numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations are performed to achieve a better understanding of the behaviour of wakes generated by wind turbines. The simulations are performed by combining the in-house developed computer code EllipSys3D with the actuator line and disc methodologies. READ MORE

   Abstract : The optimization of new generation of the wind farms is dependent on our understanding of wind turbine wake development, wake dynamics and the interaction of the wakes. The overall goal of the optimization is decreasing the fatigue loading and increasing the power production of the wind farms. READ MORE

7. 5. Numerical Computations of Wakes Behind Wind Farms : A tool to study Farm to Farm interaction

   Abstract : More and larger wind farms are planned offshore. As the most suitable sites to build are limited these new wind farms will be constructed near to each other in so called wind farm clusters. Behind the wind turbines in these farms there is a disrupted flow of air called a wake that is characterized by reduced wind speed and increased turbulence. READ MORE
