Wind Turbine Performance in Very Large Wind Farms: Betz Analysis Revisited
Energies, 2020 The theoretical limit for wind turbine performance, the so-called Betz limit, arises from an inviscid, irrotational analysis of the streamtube around an actuator disk.

The Betz limit and the corresponding thermodynamic limit
Wind Engineering, 2022 The Betz’s limit for the maximum efficiency of an ideal wind turbine imposes a maximum value of about 60% on the conversion of the kinetic energy of an airflow into work. In this paper, we analyze the reason for this value because, from a thermodynamic point of view, it can be 100%.

Optimal relationship between power and design-driving loads for wind turbine rotors using 1-D models [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2020 We investigate the optimal relationship between the aerodynamic power, thrust loading and size of a wind turbine rotor when its design is constrained by a static aerodynamic load.

Numerical study of ducted turbines in bi-directional tidal flows
Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2021 Installing a turbine in a duct generally increases the flow through the rotor. If there is flow confinement due to limited water depth, the presence of lateral boundaries, or the presence of adjacent turbines, a further flow enhancement through the rotor
