Modelling Farm-to-Farm Interaction Using a Fast Linearised Numerical Approach

Alexia Everley, Hossein A. Kafiabad, Majid Bastankhah

This paper presents a computationally efficient, linearised numerical method for modelling aerodynamic interactions between wind farms. The linearised two-dimensional incompressibl…

Two-way coupling of gravity waves and wind farm wakes: a reduced-order boundary-layer model

Hossein A. Kafiabad, Majid Bastankhah

This paper develops a reduced-order numerical framework for modelling the two-way coupling between gravity waves and turbulent wakes in large-scale wind farms. Starting with the no…

Efficient Lagrangian averaging with exponential filters

Abhijeet Minz, Lois E. Baker, Hossein A. Kafiabad +1

Lagrangian averaging is a valuable tool for the analysis and modelling of multiscale processes in fluid dynamics. The numerical computation of Lagrangian (time) averages from simul…

Inhomogeneity-induced wavenumber diffusion

Michael R. Cox, Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste

Inertia-gravity waves are scattered by background flows as a result of Doppler shift by a non-uniform velocity. In the WKB regime, the scattering process reduces to a diffusion in…

Lagrangian filtering for wave-mean flow decomposition

Lois E. Baker, Hossein A. Kafiabad, Cai Maitland-Davies +1

Geophysical flows are typically composed of wave and mean motions with a wide range of overlapping temporal scales, making separation between the two types of motion in wave-resolv…

Computing Lagrangian means

Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste

Lagrangian averaging plays an important role in the analysis of wave--mean-flow interactions and other multiscale fluid phenomena. The numerical computation of Lagrangian means, e.…

Grid-based calculation of Lagrangian mean

Hossein Kafiabad

Lagrangian averaging has been shown to be more effective than Eulerian mean in separating waves from slow dynamics in two-timescale flows. It also appears in many reduced models th…

Interaction of near-inertial waves with an anticyclonic vortex

Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young

Anticyclonic vortices focus and trap near-inertial waves so that near-inertial energy levels are elevated within the vortex core. Some aspects of this process, including the nonlin…

Inertia-gravity-wave scattering by geostrophic turbulence

Miles A. C. Savva, Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste

In rotating stratified flows including in the atmosphere and ocean, inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) often coexist with a geostrophically balanced turbulent flow. Advection and refract…
