Performance of SB-VAWT using a modified double multiple streamtube model

The present study introduces a new relation to evaluate the equilibrium induced air velocity in the mid plane between the upstream and downstream rotor zones to give a good improvement in prediction of the maximum power coefficient. The relation is derived as a function of both interference factor i...
