Actuator line modelling of wind turbines makes several assumptions in order to provide reliable results. This work provides evidence of the influence of different parameters of the model, such as aerodynamic force calculation models, three dimensional flow effects, tip and root effect, uniform and turbulent flow. Some considerations on the influence of the number of points per rotor diameters are presented, and therefore the computational cost is analysed.

Abstract

Actuator line modelling of wind turbines makes several assumptions in order to provide reliable results. This work provides evidence of the influence of different parameters of the model, such as aerodynamic force calculation models, three dimensional flow effects, tip and root effect, uniform and turbulent flow. Some considerations on the influence of the number of points per rotor diameters are presented, and therefore the computational cost is analysed.
