Slide 9
Turbulence
My favourite definition of turbulence is
that it is the general solution of the
Navier-Stokes equations.
Turbulence: The Chief Outstanding Difficulty of our Subject
Slide 10
Governing equations
Conservation of Mass:
Conservation of Momentum:
Conservation of Energy:

Modelling approach
Slide 12
Unfortunately
Slide 13
Consequently
We have to resort to modelling: LES, RANS,
or: get our hands dirty!
and we run into questions such as:
Slide 14
Modelling
GexCon:
RANS modelling in the commercial CFD solver FLACS-Wind
CMR Computing
Model reduction techniques in combination with CFD, in order to reduce calculation
time
Uni Research
Artificial intelligence (AI) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), in order to avoid
solving the Navier Stokes equations

Approach to research / engineering
Blade Turbine Near Wake Far wake Wind farm
or jump to full scale wind farm and tune the model?
Sources of uncertainty
Model uncertainties vs. weather predictions!
Downscaling from meso scale: 3-30 km 1-10 m
Marine boundary layer: wind-wave interactions!
