A Fast Two-Dimensional Numerical Method for the Wake Simulation of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

In the array design of the vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT), the wake effect of the upstream VAWT on the downstream VAWT needs to be considered. In order to simulate the velocity distribution of a VAWT wake rapidly, a new two-dimensional numerical method is proposed, which can make the array desig...
