Submit elsewhere

[petebachant]

After 8 months of reviews, and the second round being pretty easy, the editor rejected the paper. We should submit elsewhere and update the preprint.

I think we got shafted on this one. We should have made stronger points / rebuttals re novelty and usefulness. Let's regroup after Christmas and resubmit somewhere else. Although part of me wants to send an angry email to the editor. The reviewers still left the door wide open in their final review...

Re-running simulations with fixed flow curvature correction now. Thinking we may want to rename this paper "Actuator line modeling of vertical-axis turbines in RANS and LES" to highlight the novelty. I don't think this level of overall performance/wake detail has been validated against both turbulence modeling strategies in the literature thus far.

Actually I heard of a good new journal today called Wind Energy Science. Will look into that.

Alright, I just finally reformatted the paper using the Energies LaTeX class. Going to re-run the simulations with the corrected Goude model and latest code, then submit there.

Great, thanks. Do you think the correct model will make results closer to experiments?

Btw, we just finished building a controllable 1m wind turbine. You should come check it out sometime. And while Greg was waiting for Sam to finish the turbine, he did some experiments with a 1m porous disk – gave some interesting results.

Do you want me to read over the draft before it goes in?

[petebachant]

The results look very similar. I just want them to be done with the newest code.

[petebachant]

You can take a look now and lemme know if you have any edits. I don't think much will change with the figures.

Just resubmitted to Energies.
