Abstract:
Wind direction in atmospheric boundary layer changes constantly. As such, the
power extracted from the wind turbines in a wind farm is subjected to change. This change
in wind direction impacts the wake pattern which in turn affects the power output of the
downstream wind turbines. Empirical wind farm models are useful in such cases to assess the
overall performance of the wind farms. However, the results provided by these models can be
made more useful if fluid-structure interaction (FSI) effects are also considered. In the present
work, we begin by looking at the potential flow model and the issues associated with it and used
a modified model with constant vorticity to analyze the wind power available to the downstream
wind turbines in a wind farm misaligned with respect to wind direction for irrotational flow. A
simplified FSI based approach is used to carry out the simulations without the need of modelling
the complicated wind turbine geometry.
