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
