Validation of Actuator Line and Vortex Models Using Normal Forces Measurements of a Straight-Bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are characterized by complex and unsteady flow patterns resulting in considerable challenges for both numerical simulations and measurements describing the phenomena involved. In this study, a 3D Actuator Line Model (ALM) is compared to a 2D and a 3D Vortex Model,...
