Unsteady actuator disc model for horizontal axis wind turbines
Abstract A non-linear and unsteady actuator disc model for horizontal axis wind turbines is presented. The model consists of a finite-difference solution of the axisymmetric Euler equations in a vorticity-streamfunction formulation. We here show some results, steady as well as unsteady, for an actuator disc with a prescribed elliptic load distribution and for the 20 m radius Nibe turbine. Generally, the results are found to be in good agreement with measurements.
