| Abstract | In this study, large eddy simulation was employed to investigate the influence of the forest canopy on wind turbine wakes. Nine forest case studies were carried out with different vertical distributions of leaf area density (LAD) and values of leaf area index (LAI). It was found that the wake in forest canopies recovers at a faster rate when compared with the flat terrain. An interesting observation was the significant reduction in turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) in the lower part of the wake above the forest in comparison with the inflow TKE, which occurred for a wide range of turbine downstream positions. The increase of TKE, on the other hand, was mainly located in the region around the top tip. Analyses of the power spectral density showed that the increase in TKE happened at a certain range of frequencies for the forest canopy cases and at all the examined frequencies for the flat case. Wake meandering was also examined and was found to be of a higher amplitude and a lower dominant frequency for the forest cases compared with the flat case. In terms of the influence of forest canopy parameters, the LAI was found to have an impact greater than the vertical distribution of LAD. Specifically, the wake added TKE and wake added Reynolds shear stress were found to be approximately the same for cases with the same LAI, regardless of the vertical distribution of LAD. |
