| Summary: | The issue of wind turbine wake effects in the offshore environment has become increasingly important with the development of offshore wind farms. The problem of wake dispersion from turbines plays a crucial role in evaluating the wake velocity deficit and solving the optimization problem of wind farms. This study focuses on the wake expansion of spanwise arranged turbines using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Firstly, numerical models are compared with the data from previous studies to validate their accuracy. Secondly, the study analyses wake structures for varying lateral spacings in spanwise turbine configurations using the actuator line model (ALM). Lastly, by comparing the predictions of wake expansion between existing models, a modified model considering added turbulence is proposed and then validated using LES data, significantly enhancing accuracy for predicting the wake width under different array spacings in the wind farm. |
