The concept underpinning the UPWARDS project is to develop an integrated simulation framework of high fidelity simulation codes capable of performing high fidelity wind turbine and wind energy park simulations including wind flow, fully coupled fluid structure interaction, progressive damage and noise propagation.
In addition, UPWARDS will improve and validate towards existing experimental data or data generated during the project, models for particular important phenomena such as inflow and inter-turbine wind, rotor noise propagation and composite materials failure.
