Dynamic wake model for detailed aeroelastic simulation of turbines in wind farms

 The project contains two major activities - model development and model verification. The theoretical phase comprises development of models for turbulence characteristics in the wake, models for the wake expansion, and models for the wake meandering (i.e. the down stream transport of the wake deficit in the atmospheric boundary layer). Finally, the superposition of one or more wakes will be addressed. The verification phase comprises comparisons of model predictions and full-scale measurements on different levels, ranging from a detailed comparisons of measured and simulated flow characteristics to comparisons of measured and simulated loads on turbines subjected to wake loading
