On the Accuracy of uRANS and LES-Based CFD Modeling Approaches for Rotor and Wake Aerodynamics of the (New) MEXICO Wind Turbine Rotor Phase-III

This work presents a comparison study of the CFD modeling with two different turbulence modeling approaches viz. unsteady RANS and LES, on a full-scale model of the (New) MEXICO rotor wind turbine. The main emphasis of the paper is on the rotor and wake aerodynamics. Simulations are carried out for...
