CFD Wake Modelling with a BEM Wind Turbine Sub-Model

Modelling of wind farms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) resolving the flow field around each wind turbine's blades on a moving computational grid is still too costly and time consuming in terms of computational capacity and effort. One strategy is to use sub-models for the wind turbine...
