Research Projects
Analytical model of a single turbine wake
This study derives analytical solutions to find the start of the far wake for a single turbine wake and computes the far-wake recovery over a range of inflow turbulence intensities and local blockage ratios.
Analytical wake model of a row of turbines
This study prediects how the wake of multiple turbines interact, develop and eventually recovers.
