Wind Turbine Wake Characterization for Improvement of the Ainslie Eddy Viscosity Wake Model

This paper presents a modified version of the Ainslie eddy viscosity wake model and its accuracy by comparing it with selected exiting wake models and wind tunnel test results. The wind tunnel test was performed using a 1.9 m rotor diameter wind turbine model operating at a tip speed ratio similar t...
