Abstract

AbstractThe computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is widely employed in the numerical simulation of wind turbine wake with the advancement and improvement of computer technology. In the simulation of wind turbine wake, the actuator disk model (ADM) has been verified. This method, however, can only isolate the wake flow field of a single wind turbine and does not take into account the mutual coupling effect between numerous wind turbines’ wakes. As a result, this paper proposes a calculation method that takes into account the dynamic coupling of multiple wind turbines’ wakes, and explores the coupling effect between the wakes of multiple wind turbines and the terrain by dynamically updating the resistance source term in real time according to the incoming wind speed during numerical simulation. The revised dynamic updating source term approach can detect the incoming wind speed on the basis of ensuring the quality of numerical simulation, making it more suited for linking numerical modeling of complex terrain flow field and the wake of many wind turbines.KeywordsWind turbine wakeADMComplex terrainNumerical simulation
