Abstract Wind turbine interaction in wind farms can lead to energy loss and increased loads, with the magnitude of these effects strongly depending on atmospheric conditions. One-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models are able represent boundary layer (ABL) over a range model fidelity, be used for steady-state inflow profiles three-dimensional RANS simulations farms. In prese...

This paper investigates the influence of the propeller on the drag of twin self-propelled AUVs, firstly, to examine the fleet performance for various propulsive conditions of leading and following AUV and, secondly, to study the parametric influence of transverse separations and longitudinal offsets on the fleet’s drag. A series of CFD RANS-SST simulations have been performed at the Reynolds Nu...

to enhance the understanding of the impact of obstacle buildings on pollution transportationand dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer, it is necessary to know the atmospheric flow characteristics over terrains. wind flow characteristics in a boundary layer over a step-shaped cliff topography model with rough and smooth surfaces were studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics ...

Oil droplet transport under a non-breaking deep water wave field is investigated herein using Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD). The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations were solved to simulate regular waves in the absence of wind stress, and the resulting water velocities agreed with Stokes theory for waves. The RANS velocity field was then used to predict the transport of buoyant...

Three different cyclist positions were evaluated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel experiments were used to provide reliable data to evaluate the accuracy of the CFD simulations. Specific features of this study are: (1) both steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and unsteady flow modelling, with more advanced turbulence modelling techniques (Large-Eddy Simulation -...

The numerical analysis of the mechanisms governing the flow in the porous region is of a priority interest for modeling porous media flows. The present study is a prerequisite for elaborating the efficient turbulence modeling techniques in porous media flows. The main objective of present study is to provide a detailed pore scale description of fluid flow and to analyze the formation of the coh...

The results of a series of numerical simulations for the NASA low-speed centrifugal compressor are presented. Large-eddy simulation (LES) is carried out together with the most commonly used Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models, including the mixing length, k– and k– models. Predictions are compared with the available experimental data. It is seen that quantitative predictions of LES are...
