In this study, large eddy simulation (LES) is combined with a turbine model to investigate the wake behind a vertical … forces on the blades. The results are compared with flow measurements in the wake of a model straight-bladed VAWT, carried … observed. In general, the ALM is found to better capture the unsteady-periodic nature of the wake and shows a better agreement …
