Computational Actuator Disc Models for Wind and Tidal Applications

Figure 7

Normalized velocity of the channel (solid line), duct (dashed line), and experimental data (◯) [11] at different values of (a) 0.61, 0.62, (b) 0.86, 0.91, and (c) 0.97, 0.99 for this study and the experiment study, respectively [11]. The inlet 1 simulations are shown in black and inlet 2 simulations are in red. Each figure represents the distance downstream of the disc corresponding to , , , , and , respectively.
