TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare different types of models from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to wind farm models in terms of how accurately they represent wake losses when compared with measurements from offshore wind farms.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed data ensembles of power losses due to wakes at the large wind farms at Nysted and Horns Rev are presented and analyzed, and a number of ensemble averages are simulated with a range of wind farm and computational fluid dynamics models and compared to observed wake losses.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present research conducted in the Flow workpackage of the EU funded UPWIND project which focuses on improving models of flow within and downwind of large wind farms in complex terrain and offshore.

TL;DR: In this article, new single wake results are presented against experimental data at Vindeby and Bockstigen wind farms, where it was found that almost all of them overestimate the wake effects and also significant inconsistencies between the model predictions appeared in the near wake and turbulence intensity results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model wake and boundary-layer interactions for efficient development of offshore windfarms, and propose an offshore wind farm model based on the boundary layer interactions.
