Potential flow solutions for energy extracting actuator disc flows

GAM Van Kuik, LEM Lignarolo - Wind Energy, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The actuator disc is the oldest representation of a rotor, screw or propeller. Performance
prediction is possible by applying momentum theory, giving integrated values for power and …

Although a century of research has expanded the knowledge of rotor aerodynamics …

An actuator disk method with tip‐loss correction based on local effective upstream velocities

M Moens, M Duponcheel, G Winckelmans… - Wind …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
This work aims at assessing the performance of a tip‐loss correction for advanced actuator
disk (AD) methods coupled to large eddy simulation and making this correction possible in a …

Three-dimensional free-wake vortex simulations of an actuator disc in yaw and tilt

T Berdowski - 2018 Wind Energy Symposium, 2018 - arc.aiaa.org
W turbines produce a wake as a product of the energy conversion process. If turbines are
clustered together, these wakes will negatively affect the performance of other turbines in the …

Estimating the performance of wind turbines misaligned with respect to the wind direction using a simplified CFD based approach

SL Basu, B Fitzgerald, B Basu - Journal of Physics: Conference …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Wind direction in atmospheric boundary layer changes constantly. As such, the power
extracted from the wind turbines in a wind farm is subjected to change. This change in wind …

The actuator disc concept

GAM van Kuik - Handbook of Wind Energy Aerodynamics, 2020 - Springer
Actuator disc theory is the simplest rotor theory possible: the rotor is replaced by a
permeable disc carrying an axisymmetric force field. It is more than a century old, with a first …
