Data-Driven Improvement of RANS Simulations of Wind Farms in Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer Conditions

The most used RANS-model in relation to wind farms, k−epsilon, has significant shortcomings. It over-predicts the eddy viscosity in the near-wake and fails to model the anisotropy of the turbulence quantities. The Sparse Regression of the Turbulence Stress Anisotropy (SpaRTA) method could remedy these shortcomings. This method uses temporally...
