Description
A CFD code has been developed based on a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) approach. The turbine is simulated by concentrated drag forces, and is placed in an environment with turbulence anisotropy properties similar to the ones of the real atmosphere. Comparisons with experimental data and with analytical correlations have been performed, and the results are found to be in good agreement with both, suggesting that LES is a potentially useful tool in the investigation of detailed wake flow
