Actuator Disc Approach of Wind Turbine Wake Simulation Considering Balance of Turbulence Kinetic Energy

The operation of the wind turbines downstream is affected by the wake of the wind turbines upstream. Wind turbine wake flow is investigated by applying the actuator disc (AD) method. The modified k-ε turbulence model is proposed by using both the turbulent kinetic energy source term and...
