An actuator‐line model with Lagrangian‐averaged velocity sampling and piecewise projection for wind turbine simulations

Abstract A new approach is proposed to do the velocity sampling for actuator‐line models (ALM). Unlike the conventional spatial averaging approaches, the velocity sampling is performed in a Lagrangian averaging way along flow paths with a time scale depending on the local flow patterns. The new appr...
