    Abstract

     

    An CFD model of the wake of an offshore wind farm, expanding existing measurements is proposed. The method is based on solving the Navier Stokes equation in a large domain downstream an offshore wind farm. The inflow of the domain is estimated using existing met mast measurements from both free stream and directly in-wake conditions. A comparison between the simulation results and measurements from a met mast are presented and the shortcomings of the methods are discussed.
