In this work the accuracy of the Actuator Line Model (ALM) in Large Eddy Simula-
tions of wind turbine flow is studied under the speci c conditions of very coarse spatial resolutions. For finely-resolved conditions, it is known that ALM provides better accuracy compared to the standard Actuator Disk Model (ADM) without rotation. However, we show here that on very coarse resolutions, flow induction occurring at rotor scales can a effect the predicted in flwow angle and can adversely a ect the ALM predictions. We first provide an illustration of coarse LES to reproduce wind tunnel measurements. The resulting flow predictions are good, but the challenges in predicting power outputs from the detailed ALM motivate more detailed analysis on a case with uniform in flow. We present a theoretical framework to compare the ltered quantities that enter the Large-Eddy Sim-
ulation equations as body forces with a scaling relation between the filtered and unflltered quantities. The study aims to apply the theoretical derivation to the simulation framework and improve the current results for an ALM, especially in the near wake where the largest differences are observed.
