| Abstract |
Because a significant portion of the topography of Japan is characterized by steep, complex terrain, which results in a complex spatial distribution of wind speed, great care is necessary for selectin...g a site for the construction of wind turbines. We have developed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for unsteady flow called Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, COMputational Prediction of Airflow over Complex Terrain (RIAM-COMPACT【○!R】). The RIAM-COMPACT【○!R】 CFD model is based on the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique. In this paper, a numerical wind simulation for the Taikoyama Wind Farm is performed using high-resolution terrain elevation data. The results suggest that all six wind turbines at the Taikoyama Wind Farm are subject to significant influence from separated flow (terrain-induced turbulence) which is generated due to the topographical irregularities in the vicinity of the wind turbines. A proposal has been also made on reconstruction of the wind farm.show more
