Applications of a moving surface drag model: From Stokes waves to offshore wind farms
Manuel Ayala, Zein Sadek, Raul. B Cal +2
Offshore wind farms operate within the marine atmospheric boundary layer, where ocean waves can modify air-sea momentum transfer, turbine inflow, and wake recovery. Wave-resolved s…
Wind farms as sensor arrays of turbulent boundary layer spatio-temporal flow structure
Manuel Ayala, Dennice Gayme, Charles Meneveau
Temporal fluctuations of wind farm-generated power arise from the interaction between atmospheric turbulence, turbine properties, and wind-farm layout. However, accurately characte…
Actuator Disk Models reproduce Actuator Line Model power and thrust fluctuation statistics in wind farm simulations
Manuel Ayala, Dennice Gayme, Charles Meneveau
Actuator-disk models (ADM) are widely used in wind-farm simulations, but their accuracy in reproducing power and thrust temporal fluctuation statistics has not yet been compared to…
Data-driven impeller model for efficient large eddy simulations of metastable von Kármán flows
Quentin Malé, Lucas Amoudruz, Daniel Bulgarini +5
The von Kármán turbulent swirling flow exhibits intriguing large-scale metastable dynamics, including low-frequency state switching. The study of state switching demands long-durat…
The multifractal nature of turbulent energy dissipation
Charles Meneveau, K. R. Sreenivasan
The intermittency of the rate of turbulent energy dissipation is investigated experimentally, with special emphasis on its scale-similar facets. This is done using a general fo…
Wind Farm Dynamics over a Diurnal Cycle: Analysis of a Comprehensive Large Eddy Simulation, Web-Services Accessible Dataset
Shuolin Xiao, Xiaowei Zhu, Ghanesh Narasimhan +2
The atmospheric boundary layer undergoes significant changes throughout a diurnal cycle, affecting wind turbine performance and wakes in wind farms. Wind farm Large Eddy Simulation…
