A CFD framework for offshore and onshore wind farm simulation
(IOP Publishing, 2017)
Article
Open AccessWe present a wind simulation framework for offshore and onshore wind farms. The simulation framework involves an automatic hybrid high-quality mesh generation process, a pre-processing to impose initial and boundary ... -
A wind field downscaling strategy based on domain segmentation and transfer functions
(Wiley, 2018-02-06)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a novel methodology for mesoscale‐to‐microscale downscaling of near‐surface wind fields. The model chain consists on the Weather Research and Forecast mesoscale model and the Alya‐CFDWind microscale ... -
Diurnal cycle RANS simulations applied to wind resource assessment
(Wiley, 2019-02)
Article
Open AccessMicroscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models can be used for wind resource assessment on complex terrains. These models generally assume neutral atmospheric stratification, an assumption that can lead to inaccurate ... -
Mesh generation, sizing and convergence for onshore and offshore wind farm Atmospheric Boundary Layer flow simulation with actuator discs
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Article
Open AccessA new mesh generation process for wind farm modeling is presented together with a mesh convergence and sizing analysis for wind farm flow simulations. The generated meshes are tailored to simulate Atmospheric Boundary Layer ...
