Generalised actuator disk theory: wake development with turbulent entrainment
Majid Bastankhah, Peter E. Hydon, Carl Shapiro +2
Classical actuator disk theory, developed more than a century ago, provides an idealised description of turbine rotor performance. It treats a rotor as an infinitesimally-thin perm…
A vortex sheet based analytical model of the curled wake behind yawed wind turbines
Majid Bastankhah, Carl R. Shapiro, Sina Shamsoddin +2
Motivated by the need for compact descriptions of the evolution of non-classical wakes behind yawed wind turbines, we develop an analytical model to predict the shape of curled wak…
Generation and decay of counter-rotating vortices downstream of yawed wind turbines in the atmospheric boundary layer
Carl R. Shapiro, Dennice F. Gayme, Charles Meneveau
A quantitative understanding of the dominant mechanisms that govern the generation and decay of the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP) produced by yawed wind turbines is needed to…
Filtered actuator disks: Theory and application to wind turbine models in large eddy simulation
Carl R. Shapiro, Dennice F. Gayme, Charles Meneveau
The actuator disk model (ADM) continues to be a popular wind turbine representation in large eddy simulations (LES) of large wind farms. Computational restrictions typically limit…
