Frozen-RANS Turbulence Model Corrections for Wind Turbine Wakes in Stable, Neutral and Unstable Atmospheric Boundary Layers

Computational Fluid Dynamics based on RANS models remain the standard but suffer from high errors in complex flows. In particular, turbulent kinetic energy is over-produced in high strain rate regions, such as the near wake of wind turbine flows. Data-driven turbulence modelling methods aim to derive novel turbulence models with lower...

The Longitudinal Static Stability and Control Characteristics of a Flying V Scaled Model: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Despite widespread research into the possibilities of improving aerodynamic efficiency, a plateau seems to have been reached for the conventional configuration. Hence, the potential of unconventional configurations are being investigated in recent years. Flying V is one such configuration that promises a lift to drag ratio about 24 in cruise...
