- This work presents a novel model for transitional flows. The main contributions include a new model for the production of laminar kinetic energy (LKE) and, for the first time, a model for the diffusion of LKE. The results are promising and following further assessment of the model, the model/approach presented here could translate into a step change to how transitional flows are modelled across a range of sectors. The capabilities of the new model are currently being assessed by Siemens-Gamesa on a range of wind turbine geometries using in-house wind tunnel data.
