Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method for predicting the atmospheric boundary layer under stable, neutral, or unstable thermal stratifications. The flow field is described by the Reynolds’ ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and assessment of a numerical method for simulated site calibration. The wind flow over complex terrain is predicted with a small length scale resolution. ...

Abstract: The impact of atmospheric stability on vertical wind profiles is reviewed and the implications for power performance testing and site evaluation are investigated. Velocity, temperature, and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method based on the imposition of velocity discontinuities to model flow perturbation due to the existence of vortical structures. The proposed method uses actuator-disk ...

Abstract: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a promising tool for the analysis and optimization of wind turbine positioning inside wind parks (also known as wind farms) in order to maximize power ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study of turbulent atmospheric flow around tubular and lattice meteorological masts and a wind speed and energy uncertainty calculation method based on the numerical ...
