An alternative form of the super-Gaussian wind turbine wake model [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2020 A new analytical wind turbine wake model, based on a super-Gaussian shape function, is presented. The super-Gaussian function evolves from a nearly top-hat shape in the near wake to a Gaussian shape in the far wake, which is consistent with observations ...
