Wake turbulence modeling in stratified atmospheric flows using a novel k−ℓ model

Wake turbulence modeling in stratified atmospheric flows using a novel k−ℓ model Klemmer, Kerry S; Howland, Michael F As turbines continue to grow in hub height and rotor diameter and wind farms grow larger, consideration of stratified atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) processes in wind power models becomes increasingly important. Atmospheric stratification can considerably alter the boundary layer structure and flow characteristics through buoyant forcing. Variations in buoyancy, and correspondi
