Medium and High-fidelity Aerodynamic Models for Wind Farm Power Optimization

Summary

Comparison of multi-fidelity CFD models for the simulation of turbine interaction.

Scope

blueOASIS was awarded 2.25M core-hour by the RNCA/FCCN in the Navigator cluster, of University of Coimbra, to investigate multi-fidelity CFD methods (Actuator Disk/body-resolved Sliding Grids; RANS/SRS) to model the aerodynamics of the rotor in turbine-turbine interactions.
