... applications. The available wind atlases usually provide wind data with low spatial resolution relative to the wind turbine height and usually neglect the effect of topographic features with relatively large or sudden changes in elevation. Two benchmark cases are studied for computational fluid dynamics (CFD...

... the results are compared to those of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study. The computational study is further validated by comparing the flow field to PIV data. The CFD simulations are then analyzed to explain the aerodynamics in further detail, including a discussion of the effect of the streamwise...

... are focused on overheating and boiling problems in the collector panel. Single-phase liquid flow and heat transfer in the collector panel are studied by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations. Differently designed collectors are investigated with different collector fluid volume flow rates...
