| | 5 | Turbulence may be very large in wind turbine wakes and especially if turbines are clustered in arrays significant interference effects take place. To avoid damage and bad efficiency it is advantageous to get to know the characteristics of this turbulence intensity. In this project the turbine is placed in an environment with turbulence properties similar to the ones of the atmosphere. The wind turbine is modelled by drag forces applied at the grid points corresponding to the projected disk area. |
