Investigating wake reproduction of a model-scale wind turbine: experimental measurements versus large eddy simulation with actuator line

Emmanuel Gillyns, Sophia Buckingham, Jeroen van Beeck, Grégoire Winckelmans

Short summary

A new model-scale wind turbine (TWIST) and an improved continuous actuator line method (cALM) with novel force distribution accurately reproduce key near-wake features (velocity deficit, wake boundary) within 1.41 rotor diameters (D) and remain consistent with experiments up to 4.35 D.
