A Simplified Free Vortex Wake Model of Wind Turbines for Axial Steady Conditions

A simplified free vortex wake (FVW) model called the vortex sheet and ring wake (VSRW) model was developed to rapidly calculate the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines under axial steady conditions. The wake in the simplified FVW model is comprised of the vortex sheets in the near wake and the...
