Evaluation of predictive methods for wind turbine performance and wake development

In this project I have predicted the performance and the wake development for a model wind turbine using the actuator disc with Blade Elements Momentum (BEM) methods. The flow has been solved using OpenFOAM, an open-source CFD software, in combination with the k-ε turbulent model. The r...
