Divergence-conforming discretization for Stokes problem on locally refined meshes using LR B-splines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)To solve the incompressible flow problems using isogeometric analysis, the div-compatible spline spaces were originally introduced by Buffa et al. (2011), and later developed by Evans (2011). In this paper, we extend the ... -
Effect of turbulence intensity on the performance of an offshore vertical axis wind turbine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Offshore wind energy is one of the most competitive renewable energy resources available to us, which until now been under- exploited. Most of the problems associated with wind farm installation like land acquisition, low ... -
Implementation and comparison of three isogeometric Navier–Stokes solvers applied to simulation of flow past a fixed 2D NACA0012 airfoil at high Reynolds number
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Implementation of three different Navier–Stokes solvers in an isogeometric finite element framework is presented in this paper. The three solvers Chorin projection method and Coupled formulation , both with the Spalart–Allmaras ... -
Investigation of the impact of wakes and stratification on the performance of an onshore wind farm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This work investigates the effects of wakes and stratification on the performance of turbines operating in the Bessaker wind farm. The wind farm is located in a highly complex terrain. Most dominant wind directions recorded ... -
Isogeometric divergence-conforming variational multiscale formulation of incompressible turbulent flows
(Journal article, 2016)A new residual-based variational multiscale (RBVMS) formulation for incompressible turbulent flows is proposed that is suitable for discretization using divergence-conforming B-splines. The proposed methodology results in ... -
Isogeometric methods for CFD and FSI-simulation of flow around turbine blades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Coupled fluid-structure interaction simulations of wind turbines have traditionally been considered computationally too expensive to carry out. However, more powerful computers and better solution techniques based on ... -
LES and RANS simulation of onshore Bessaker wind farm: analyzing terrain and wake effects on wind farm performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This work compares the predictive performance of RANS and LES solver in capturing the effect of terrain and wakes on the performance of the Bessaker wind farm. This 25 turbine wind farm is located in a highly complex terrain ... -
Numerical Analysis of NREL 5MW Wind Turbine: A Study Towards a Better Understanding of Wake Characteristic and Torque Generation Mechanism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)With the increased feasibility of harvesting offshore wind energy, scale of wind turbines is growing rapidly and there is a trend towards clustering together higher number of turbines in order to harvest maximum yield and ... -
Numerical benchmarking of fluid–structure interaction: An isogeometric finite element approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In this paper we describe and evaluate an isogeometric finite element program, IFEM-FSI, for doing coupled fluid–structure interaction simulations. We investigate the role played by employing higher polynomial orders and ... -
Simulation of airflow past a 2D NACA0015 airfoil using an isogeometric incompressible Navier-Stokes solver with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The work presented in this paper concerns the efforts of conducting a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of air flow past a fixed 2D NACA0015 airfoil at high Reynolds number (Re=2.5×106Re=2.5×106) using an ...
