2. 1. 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.

4. 2. Wind turbine wakes : controland vortex shedding

   Author : Davide Medici; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind Energy; Power Optimisation; Active Control; Yaw; Vortex; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : Wind tunnel studies of the wake behind a model wind turbine have been made in order to get a better understanding of wake development as well as the possibility to predict the power output from downstream turbines working in the wake of an upstream one. Both two-component hot-wire anemometry as well as particle image velocimetry (PIV) have been used to map the flow field. READ MORE

5. 3. Wind-wave interaction effects on offshore wind energy

   Author : Ali Al Sam; Strömningsteknik; []
   Keywords : wind-wave; swell; atmospheric boundary layer; marine atmospheric boundary layer; atmospheric turbulence; Large-eddy simulation; actuator line; wind sea; offshore technology; wind energy; wind turbine; aerodynamic;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the investigation of the impacts of fast moving ocean surface waves on the aerodynamics of offshore wind turbines. The impacts of non-locally generated waves (swell) on the Marine Atmospheric BoundaryLayer (MABL) and thereby on offshore wind turbine aerodynamics are studied numerically by using Large Eddy Simulations and the Actuator Line Method.

6. 4. Wind power wake modelling : Development and application of an actuator disc method for industrial utilization

   Author : Nikolaos Simisiroglou; Stefan Ivanell; Thorsten Lutz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wind power; Offshore wind farm; Wakes; Actuator Disc Method ACD ; Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD ; Reynolds Average Navier–Stokes RANS ; WindSim; PHOENICS;

   Abstract : As a wind turbine extracts energy from the wind it creates a region downstream where the wind velocity is decreased and the urbulence intensity is increased, this region is commonly called the wake region. Today’s wind farms include a large number of wind turbines position in tight layouts. READ MORE

7. 5. Wind turbine simulations using spectral elements

   Author : Elektra Kleusberg; Dan Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Stefan Ivanell; Johan Meyers; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind turbine; wakes; wake interaction; computational fluid dynamics; actuator line method; spectral elements; free-stream turbulence; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Understanding the flow around wind turbines is a highly relevant research question due to the increased interest in harvesting energy from renewable sources. This thesis approaches the topic by means of numerical simulations using the actuator line method and the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the spectral element code Nek5000. READ MORE
