Overview

Large eddy simulation reveals the aeroelastic response of a 15 MW wind turbine, indicating significant effects of the tower structure on flow dynamics.

Key Points

  • The study examines the aeroelastic response of a 15 MW wind turbine using a fluid-structure interaction model.
  • Comparisons show large discrepancies in flow incidence angle during blade passage near the tower.
  • Simulations investigate structural effects of the nacelle and tower on aerodynamic loads and deformations.
  • Results suggest incorporating the torsional degree of freedom is crucial for accurate predictions of aerodynamic behavior.
