NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE FLUID BEHAVIOR IN THE NEAR WAKE OF AN EXPERIMENTAL WIND TURBINE MODEL IN THE PRESENCE OF THE NACELLE

Numerical Investigations on the Fluid Behavior in the Near Wake of an Experimental Wind Turbine Model in the Presence of the Nacelle

Accurate predictions of the near wake of horizontal-axis wind turbines are critical in estimating and optimizing the energy production of wind farms.Consequently, accurate aerodynamic models of an isolated wind turbine are required.In this paper, the steady-state flow around an experimental horizontal-axis wind turbine (known as the MEXICO model) i
