Aerodynamic Evaluation of Wind Turbines: BEM vs. FVW vs. CFD
This video presents the three commonly used methods for the evaluation of wind turbine aerodynamics including
00:02:19 Blade element momentum (BEM)
00:43:38 Free vortex wake (FVW)
00:50:57 Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
Traditionally, it is common to use the BEM theory to assess the aerodynamic behavior of a wind turbine. However, over the recent years, the size of wind turbines, especially the offshore ones, has undergone a dramatic increase due to substantial economic benefits. The large blades of these huge machines are subject to large deformations due to increased flexibility and non-straight pre-bended blades. This, as a result, complicates highly the aerodynamics of wind turbines, where the low-fidelity BEM method is unable to predict accurately the machine behavior. This calls for aerodynamic models capable of capturing accurately the machine aerodynamics under large deformations of blades. Therefore, this has led to the development of FVW and CFD methods, which are capable of modeling more accurately the complex physics related to aerodynamics of large-scale wind turbines.

I should get a force between -5 and 5N when STARCCM+ gives me a force of 30N. I deduced buoyancy force and hydrostatic force from it still not in the desirable limit. following are the details and solvers i used for the simulation 1) implicit unsteady, VOF for free surface , K - epsilon turbulence with no DFBI and dynamic mesh . I also tried dynamic mesh (overset) and DFBI . 2) I have given velocity in the form of A SIN (wt) form under the motion tool as translation motion. 3) My CFL number is kept below 3 4) Flat wave with zero velocity for air and water. Initial conditions for velocity and pressure are given as zero. 5) slip wall for domain walls , and no slip wall for the translating body. The drive contains my simulation . Can u please take a look at my simulation and tell me wats wrong? drive.google.com/file/d/1rFnL4449stu4aWyPewxF3HGHoxp11_j3/view?usp=sharing
