1."Validation of CFD Models for Wind Turbine Wake Prediction" by S. Jafari, S.

Mahdi Abadi, and M. R. Kolahdoozan;

The paper "Validation of CFD Models for Wind Turbine Wake Prediction" by S. Jafari,
S. Mahdi Abadi, and M. R. Kolahdoozan discusses the validation of computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) models for predicting the wake of a wind turbine.

The authors used two different CFD models to simulate the wake of a wind turbine,
and compared the results with experimental data obtained from a wind tunnel. The
wind tunnel experiment was conducted using a small-scale model of a wind turbine,
and the wake velocity data was collected using a hot-wire anemometer.

The authors found that the CFD models were able to predict the overall
characteristics of the wind turbine wake, such as the velocity deficit and the wake
width, with reasonable accuracy. However, there were some discrepancies between the
CFD results and the experimental data, particularly in the details of the wake
structure.

The authors discussed some of the possible sources of error in the CFD simulations,
such as the turbulence models used and the grid resolution of the simulation. They
also suggested some improvements that could be made to the CFD models to improve
their accuracy in predicting wind turbine wakes.

Overall, the paper provides a useful analysis of the performance of CFD models for
predicting wind turbine wakes, and highlights some of the challenges that need to
be overcome to improve the accuracy of these models.

2.The article "Assessment of Wind Turbine Wake Models Using Wind Tunnel
Measurements" by S. Mahdi Abadi, S. Jafari, and M. R. Kolahdoozan was published in
the journal Energies in 2020. The article focuses on the validation and comparison
of various wake models used for predicting the wake characteristics of wind
turbines in a wind tunnel.

The authors conducted wind tunnel experiments to measure the wake characteristics
of a model wind turbine. They then compared the experimental results with the
predictions obtained from various wake models, including the Jensen model, the
Larsen model, and the Park model. The authors also proposed a modified version of
the Jensen model, which takes into account the effects of the yaw angle on the wake
characteristics.

The results of the study showed that the modified Jensen model provided the most
accurate predictions of the wake characteristics for both the axial and radial
directions. The Larsen model also provided relatively accurate predictions, while
the Park model was found to be less accurate. The study highlights the importance
of accurately predicting wake characteristics in wind turbine design and
performance analysis.

Overall, the article provides valuable insights into the use of wake models for
wind turbine design and highlights the importance of validating such models using
experimental data.
3.The article "Numerical Simulation of Wind Turbine Blades in a Wind Tunnel" by F.
Marcer, A. Segalini, and F. Gallizio describes a method for simulating the
aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades in a wind tunnel using computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

The authors begin by discussing the importance of accurately predicting the

aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades, as this is critical for designing
efficient and cost-effective wind turbines. Wind tunnel testing is a common method
for evaluating blade designs, but it can be expensive and time-consuming. CFD
simulations offer an alternative approach that can provide detailed information
about the flow field around the blade at a lower cost and with greater flexibility.

The authors describe their numerical simulation approach, which involves solving
the Navier-Stokes equations using a commercial CFD software package. The
simulations are performed on a high-performance computing cluster to allow for
efficient computation of the large-scale, complex flow fields around wind turbine
blades.

The authors describe the various physical models and assumptions used in their
simulations, such as the turbulence model and the boundary conditions. They also
discuss the challenges involved in accurately modeling the complex flow fields
around wind turbine blades, such as the effect of blade rotation and the
interaction between the blade and the tower.

The authors present results from their simulations, including comparisons with
experimental data from wind tunnel tests. They show that their numerical approach
can accurately predict the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades,
including key performance metrics such as lift and drag coefficients.

Overall, the article provides an overview of the use of CFD simulations for
evaluating the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades, and highlights the
importance of accurate numerical modeling in the design of efficient and cost-
effective wind turbines.
4.The paper "CFD Simulation of the NREL Phase VI Wind Turbine Using the Actuator
Disk Model" by K. Fuglsang and F. Bak presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
simulation of the NREL Phase VI wind turbine using the actuator disk model.

The NREL Phase VI wind turbine is a horizontal-axis wind turbine with a diameter of
10 meters and a rated power output of 200 kW. The actuator disk model is a
simplified approach to modeling the aerodynamics of a wind turbine. In this model,
the wind turbine rotor is replaced by a disk that represents the forces acting on
the air passing through the rotor.

The CFD simulation was performed using the commercial software Fluent. The
simulation domain included the wind turbine rotor and the surrounding area. The
equations governing the flow of air were solved using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-
Stokes (RANS) equations with a turbulence model.

The authors validated their simulation results by comparing them with experimental
data obtained from wind tunnel tests of the NREL Phase VI wind turbine. They found
that their simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental data.

The authors also used the simulation to investigate the effect of different wind
speeds and turbine blade pitch angles on the performance of the NREL Phase VI wind
turbine. They found that the power output increased with increasing wind speed and
decreasing blade pitch angle.

Overall, the paper demonstrates the use of the actuator disk model and CFD
simulation to study the aerodynamics of a wind turbine and provides useful insights
into the performance of the NREL Phase VI wind turbine under different operating
conditions.

5. A comparison of different turbulence models for predicting the aerodynamic

performance of wind turbines using CFD was conducted by Liu et al. in 2019. The
study compared the Spalart-Allmaras (SA), k-epsilon (k-ε), and k-omega (k-ω)
turbulence models with wind tunnel measurements. The results showed that the k-ω
turbulence model produced the best agreement with the wind tunnel data for the
power coefficient and blade surface pressure distributions.

In 2018, Bresciani et al. compared different turbulence models and grid

resolutions for simulating the wake of a wind turbine using CFD

with a finer grid resolution provided the best agreement with the wind tunnel
measurements.

(RANS), Detached Eddy Simulation (DES), and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models. The
results showed that the RANS model provided the best agreement with the wind tunnel
data.

In 2019, Tescione et al. compared the results of CFD simulations with wind
