Flood Safety on Dikes with Wind Turbines

Many governments want to realize wind power, because it is a technology that promotes sustainable energy. That is why there is need for locations for wind farms (groups of wind turbines). Dikes are good locations for wind farms, because of favourable wind conditions, the absence of cultivation and the presence of road infrastructure. However,...

Large Eddy Simulation of the flow around a wind turbine blade

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of incompressible turbulent flow around a wind turbine blade at a chord Reynolds number of 5000 are performed using high-order spectral/hp element method (SEM). The method and the early results of the simulations are presented. Some requirements with respect to mesh generation for the SEM concerning h- and p...
