1 Towards Simulating the Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Wind Farm Flows 6 th OpenFOAM Workshop Matthew J. Churchfield Patrick J. Moriarty June 15, 2011 NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.
2 Description Aerodynamics simulations to study wind farm physics Wake-turbine interaction Wake-atmospheric boundary layer interaction Wake-wake interaction + = atmospheric boundary layer simulation wind turbine model wind farm aerodynamics simulation 2
3 Motivation Currently used engineering wake models developed in 1980s/1990s Examples (OpenWind, Wasp,etc.) Now turbines are larger than in 1980s/1990s Turbines taller than many meteorological masts Velocity and direction shears across rotor become significant Atmospheric stability is important Wind profile and turbulence differ greatly from unstable to stable Need for improved engineering farm-level wake models CFD can help to understand modern wind farm physics 3
4 Motivation How atmospheric stability affects the Horns Rev wind farm [1] Stability Array Efficiency unstable 74% neutral 71% stable 66% Horns Rev Wind Farm in North Sea off Danish Coast source: UniFly A/S [1] L. E. Jensen. Array Efficiency at Horns Rev and the Effect of Atmospheric Stability, Dong Energy Presentation,

8 Methodology: Turbine Model Actuator Line Method [1] Blades represented as lines along which there are discrete sections For each element, we know local flow velocity and angle, rotor-induced speed, chord, twist, and airfoil Use a look-up table to get lift and drag at each section Equal and opposite of lift and drag at each actuator element projected back onto CFD flow field as a body force using a spherical Gaussian. [1] Sørensen, J. N. and Shen, W. Z., Numerical Modeling of Wind Turbine Wakes, Journal of Fluids Engineering 124, 2002, pp
9 Methodology: Wind Farm Simulation Perform horizontally periodic precursor ABL simulation Apply an array of actuator line models to wind farm domain Intialize wind farm domain with precursor volume field Once precursor ABL is developed, use surface functionobject to save boundary planes of data every N time steps Use saved precursor boundary data with timevaryingmappedfixedvalue BC to feed turbulent data into wind farm domain 9

20 Problems Encountered blockmesh, refinemesh, mapfields, decomposepar require large amounts of memory for larger meshes Need a better method Coarse mesh with blockmesh Run decomposepar Run refinemesh and mapfields on each processor directory Need to try OF-1.6-ext new generation solvers for pressure 20
21 Questions For You Buoyancy formulation Solve ( UEqn == fvc::reconstruct ( - fvc::sngrad(pd)*mesh.magsf() +(fvc::interpolate(rhok - 1.0)*(g & mesh.sf())) ) ); fvvectormatrix UEqn ( fvm::ddt(u) + fvm::div(phi,u) + divdevr + gradpd //- ((rhok - 1.0)*g) - fcoriolis ); Why is buoyant term interpolated and reconstructed instead of being taken straight from cell center? 21
22 Questions For You Pressure gradient formulation ABL solver (from buoyantboussinesqpisofoam) pisofoam Solve ( UEqn == fvc::reconstruct ( - fvc::sngrad(pd)*mesh.magsf() +(fvc::interpolate(rhok - 1.0)*(g & mesh.sf())) ) ); U += rua*fvc::reconstruct((phi - phiu)/ruaf); solve(ueqn == -fvc::grad(p)); U -= rua*fvc::grad(p); Why is pressure gradient term interpolated and reconstructed unlike in pisofoam? Why is U completed differently than in pisofoam? 22
23 Future Work Validation IEA Task 31 WAKEBENCH - Benchmarking Wind Farm Flow Models Better law-of-the wall scaling in ABL simulations Improve turbine model Coupling with NREL s FAST aeroelastic turbine model (Sang Lee) Implications of local mesh refinement on SGS stresses and turbulence cascade More sophisticated SGS modeling 23
