Consideration of the Behaviour of a Wind Turbine Wake Using High-Fidelity CFD Simulations

Abstract

. During operation of a wind turbine, wake flow occurs behind the wind turbine, reducing the amount of power generation and the life of the downwind wind turbine. To understand wind turbine wake flow, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted using "RIAM-COMPACT" to reproduce wind turbine wake flow. There is no significant difference in the flow field of the wind turbine wake between
