Fish schooling as a basis for vertical axis wind turbine farm design [PDF]
, 2000 Most wind farms consist of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to the high power coefficient (mechanical power output divided by the power of the free-stream air through the turbine cross-sectional area) of an isolated turbine.
