Offshore wind turbine near wakes can extend downstream up to 5D due to low atmospheric turbulence intensities. They are characterised by strong velocity deficits, a transitioning Gaussian shape, and strong added turbulence intensities. Classical analytical wake models are still used due to their low computational costs, but they mainly focus on far-wake characteristics. A super-Gaussian wake model valid in near-and far-wake regions has recently been developed at IFP Energies nouvelles. This wake model requires calibration and validation. To this end, large-eddy simulations of the large DTU-10MW reference wind turbine under different neutrally stratified atmospheric flows are carried out with the LES Meso-NH model. A database is generated based on these results and used to calibrate and validate the super-Gaussian model.
