Space--Time Computation of Wind-Turbine Aerodynamics With Higher-Order Functions in Time

This thesis is on the space--time variational multiscale (ST-VMS) computation of wind-turbine rotor and tower aerodynamics. The rotor geometry is that of the NREL 5MW offshore baseline wind turbine. We compute with a given wind speed and a specified rotor speed. The computation is challenging becau...
