Study on the Wake of a Miniature Wind Turbine Using the Reynolds Stress Model
Energies, 2016 The Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) is adopted to simulate the wind turbine wake and the simulation results are compared with the wind tunnel test data, simulation results from the standard k-ε model and a modified k-ε model.

On the Wind Turbine Wake Mathematical Modelling
Energy Procedia, 2018 Abstract The present paper deals with a study on the wind turbine wake mathematical modelling as well as experimental validation by means of wind tunnel experiments. In particular, different wind turbine wake’s equations were implemented and results compared with experimental data.
