Wind Energy

You can have enhanced resolution on vital surfaces like blades and hubs and regions with high flow gradients, by employing GridPro’s local refinement tools such as Nesting and Enrichment. They provide precise control and refinement of mesh, enabling capturing of intricate details of the boundary layer, tip vortices, and turbulent flow, resulting in accurate predictions of aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the turbine blades.


GridPro helps in facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the wind flow patterns and their impact on the entire turbine array. This holistic approach is essential for optimizing the layout and spacing of turbines within a wind farm to minimize wake effects and maximize energy extraction.
