Theory-based mesoscale to microscale coupling for wind energy applications

The coupling of mesoscale and microscale simulation methods represents a significant challenge of wind energy research. Conventional approaches used to address this problem often combine Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and large eddy simulation (LES) equation elements, which has two significant disadvantages. First, Wyngaard’s Terra Incognita challenge cannot be addressed because there is no reflection of the amount of flow resolution in...
