A reference database of wind-farm large-eddy simulations for parametrizing effects of blockage and gravity waves KU Leuven
The dataset contains a suite of large-eddy simulation results of a wind farm operating in conventionally neutral boundary layers, in which atmospheric conditions are varied to study the effect of wind-farm blockage and self-induced gravity waves. A 1.6GW offshore wind farm with a fixed layout, composed of 160 IEA 10MW turbines, is considered for 36 different atmospheric stratification conditions. In particular, we initialize the simulations with four capping-inversion heights (i.e. 150, 300, 500 and 1000 m), three capping-inversion strengths (i.e. 2, 5 and 8 K) and three free-atmosphere lapse ...
