Abstract

While many subgrid-scale (SGS) models have, over the years, been proposed (see [6]), the effects of various SGS models in simulations of wind turbine wakes has not been documented in great detail yet. In this study, we explore such effects in simulations of single wind turbine under laminar and turbulent inflow conditions.
