Simulation of transient gusts on the NREL 5 MW wind turbine using the URANS solver THETA

<p>A procedure to propagate longitudinal transient gusts through a flow field by using the resolved-gust approach is implemented in the URANS solver THETA. Both the gust strike of a 1 − <i>cos</i>() gust and an extreme operating gust following the IEC 61400-1 standard are invest...
