Résumé

Wind turbine wakes significantly affect power production and impose higher loads on downstream turbines. Therefore, the development of accurate and efficient wake models is important for optimizing wind farm layouts and predicting wind turbine performance. This study introduces a novel analytical wake model for yawed wind turbines that incorporates the effects of the Coriolis force. The wake deflection in the far wake region is derived through the application of the principles of mass and momentum conservation. In the near wake, the deflection is assumed to be linear with distance. A Gaussian distribution is assumed for the velocity deficit within the wind turbine wake. Two approaches have been proposed to estimate the onset of the far wake region. While the first approach employs a simplified empirical formula, the second approach utilizes an iteration-based method. The proposed analytical wake model has been validated against computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results. Subsequently, the effects of several important parameters on the wake deflection have been systematically investigated. Overall, the simulation results showed a satisfactory agreement between the CFD results and those obtained from the proposed model. Furthermore, the study concluded that the Coriolis force can exert significant effects on wake deflection, particularly in the far wake region, confirming previous findings from numerical simulations. Due to its simplicity and computational efficiency, the proposed model can be readily used in several applications, including wind farm layout optimization, control and risk assessment.
