A concurrent precursor inflow method for Large Eddy Simulations and applications to finite length wind farms (2014, methodology): “The detailed comparisons with wind-tunnel data presented in Wu and Porté-Agel [36, 37] show that except for the near-wake region (up to 3 to 4D behind the turbine), the actuator (drag)-disk approach yields a good degree of accuracy for the stream-wise velocity in the far wake, i.e. further than 3 t”
On the onset of wake meandering for an axial flow turbine in a turbulent open channel flow (2014, result): “Overall, the LES-AL simulations yield better agreement with the measurements than the LES-AD, which confirms previously reported conclusions in the literature that including the tip vortices in the simulations improves the predictive capability of actuator-type models (Wu & Porté-Agel 2011).”
Characterising the near-wake of a cross-flow turbine (2015, methodology): “Compared with an axial-flow turbine wake [32], and a rotating actuator disk model [33], axisymmetric streamwise vorticity or swirl is not observed here, which is one of the reasons for the wakes’ differing dynamics.”
Wind-Turbine Wakes in a Convective Boundary Layer: A Wind-Tunnel Study (2013, methodology): “The effects of the incoming flow on the wind-turbine wake structure have been studied through wind-tunnel experiments and numerical simulations (e.g., Whale et al. 2000; Vermeer 2001; Medici and Alfredsson 2006; Chamorro and Porté-Agel 2009, 2010; Hancock and Pascheke 2010; Porté-Agel et al. 2011; W”
