Abstract
Wind turbine wakes are one of the most important aspects in wind power meteorology because they decrease the power production and increase the loading of downstream wind turbines. Therefore, there is a continuous need to find a ‘good’ wake model to properly plan wind power plant-level control strategies, predict the performance and understand the fatigue loads of turbines. In this paper, six widely used approaches of wake modelling (Jensen, Larsen, Dynamic Wake Meandering, Fuga and, Ellipsys3D LES and RANS together with their interpretations) that were developed at Technical University of Denmark, are described and the model subcomponents are analysed. The models are evaluated using data from the Sexbierum (onshore) and the Lillgrund (offshore) wind farms to understand how to best utilize them. The paper provides a comprehensive conceptual background to wake modelling combined with the overview of the state-of-the-art models including their implementations on operating wind farms.

Review and evaluation of wake loss models for wind energy applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the performance of six well-known analytical wake loss models, namely, Jensen, Larsen, Frandsen, Bastankah and Porte-Agel (BPA), Xie and Archer (XA), and Geometric Model (GM), by comparing their absolute error, bias, correlation coefficient, and ability to predict power production within one standard deviation of the mean observed values at three major commercial wind farms.

General circulation experiments with the primitive equations

TL;DR: In this article, an extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation, and the solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically.

The numerical computation of turbulent flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the applicability and applicability of numerical predictions of turbulent flow, and advocate that computational economy, range of applicability, and physical realism are best served by turbulence models in which the magnitudes of two turbulence quantities, the turbulence kinetic energy k and its dissipation rate ϵ, are calculated from transport equations solved simultaneously with those governing the mean flow behaviour.

A dynamic subgrid‐scale eddy viscosity model

TL;DR: In this article, a new eddy viscosity model is presented which alleviates many of the drawbacks of the existing subgrid-scale stress models, such as the inability to represent correctly with a single universal constant different turbulent fields in rotating or sheared flows, near solid walls, or in transitional regimes.
