[YALES2] LES of two aligned wind-turbine in a wind tunnel

This simulation represent results led in NTNU wind tunnel [1] by the YALES2 flow solver. This configuration present two aligned wind turbines to investigate wakes interaction. In this case the first wind turbine is yawed, i.e not aligned with the mean streamwise velocity. Moreover, the wind tunnel inflow is triggered by a upstream turbulence grid generating a sheared turbulent inflow. Such grid is modelled using an interesting method based on the actuator line method and can be found in [2]. [1] [2] Similar study for various inflows and yaw angles can be found in this paper: Authors: F. Houtin-Mongrolle - P. Bénard - V. Moureau - G. Lartigue (CORIA UMR6614) More info:
