(TU Delft Aerodynamics) Contributor Bijl, H. (promotor) van Zuijlen, A.H. (copromotor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2016-11-02 Abstract This thesis concerns the industrial application of large eddy simulation to wind farm aerodynamics. Through a series of simple tests, it presents the pros and cons of using energy-conserving time integration and furthers the importance of a dissipation-free spatial discretisation. Finally, it demonstrates the capability of the Energy-Conserving Navier-Stokes code based on a finite volume approach, to simulate; an experimentally analysed wake of an actuator disk, the turbulence within the atmospheric boundary layer & by combining the two, the velocity field through a wind farm.
