Helical vortices and wind turbine aerodynamics

All rotating blades shed helical vortices which have a significant effect on the velocity over the blades and the forces acting on them. Nevertheless, knowledge of vortex behavior is not used in blade element theory (BET), the most common method to calculate the thrust produced by propellers and the...
