Influence of Turbulence Length Scale and Platform Surge Motion on Wake Dynamics in Tandem Floating Wind Turbines
Ahmad Nabhani, Josep M. Bergada
Wake interaction is a key factor limiting the performance of floating offshore wind turbine arrays, yet the combined influence of inflow turbulence structure and platform motion on…
Large-Scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Efficiency Optimization using Active Flow Control and Synthetic Jets
Ahmad Nabhani, Navid M Tousi, Marti Coma +2
Efficiency increase is seen as one of the main goals in any energy converting device. In this direction, the present study aims to demonstrate that large-scale wind turbines can st…
Effects of turbulence boundary conditions on Spalart-Allmaras RANS simulations for active flow control applications
Navid Monshi Tousi, Josep M. Bergada, Fernando Mellibovsky
We assess the suitability of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation using the Spallart-Almaras (SA) turbulence model as a closure in analysing the performance of fluidic…
Wind turbine enhancement via Active Flow Control Implementation
Marc Lahoz, Ahmad Nabhani, Mohammad Saemian +1
The present research aims to enhance the efficiency of a DTU-10MW Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) via Active Flow Control (AFC) implementation and using Synthetic Jets (SJ). In…
