An analytical model of momentum availability for predicting large wind farm power
Andrew Kirby, Thomas D. Dunstan, Takafumi Nishino
Turbine-wake and farm-atmosphere interactions influence wind farm power production. For large offshore farms, the farm-atmosphere interaction is usually the more significant effect…

Data-driven modelling of turbine wake interactions and flow resistance in large wind farms
Andrew Kirby, François-Xavier Briol, Thomas D. Dunstan +1
Turbine wake and local blockage effects are known to alter wind farm power production in two different ways: (1) by changing the wind speed locally in front of each turbine; and (2…

GPU-Accelerated Discontinuous Galerkin Methods: 30x Speedup on 345 Billion Unknowns
Andrew C. Kirby, Dimitri J. Mavriplis
A discontinuous Galerkin method for the discretization of the compressible Euler equations, the governing equations of inviscid fluid dynamics, on Cartesian meshes is developed for…
