Joukowski’s wake model for tip-splitting rotors [PDF]
Abstract The interaction between a tip vortex and a solid surface is responsible for premature structural component fatigue in wind turbines and undesirable noise in helicopter rotors during low speed and descending flight. One noise reduction strategy uses a modified airfoil to split and spread the vorticity in two tip vortices.

Aerodynamic Performance and Wake Flow of Crosswind Kite Power Systems
This paper presents some results from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a multi-megawatt crosswind kite spinning on a circular path in a straight downwind configuration. The unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations closed by the k−ω

Towards a Simplified DynamicWake Model Using POD Analysis
We apply a modified proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to large eddy simulation data of a wind turbine wake in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk.

Effects of Wake Shapes on High-Lift System Aerodynamic Predictions
High-lift devices are commonly modelled using potential flow methods at the conceptual design stage. Often, these analyses require the use of prescribed wake shapes in order to avoid numerical stability issues.

This paper presents a simple physical model to improve the currently used far-wake deficit models in the wind industry. The main improvement is deemed on the determination of the wake deficit in the near-wake. A Vortex Ring Model (VRM) is used to calculate the induced velocities in the near-wake, which are then coupled to the Jensen far-wake model and ...

Multiple Wind Turbine Wakes Modeling Considering the Faster Wake Recovery in Overlapped Wakes [PDF]
In a wind farm some wind turbines may be affected by multiple upwind wakes. The commonly used approach in engineering to simulate the interaction effect of different wakes is to combine the single analytical wake model and the interaction model. The higher turbulence level and shear stress profile generated by upwind turbines in the superposed area ...

Probabilistic estimation of the Dynamic Wake Meandering model parameters using SpinnerLidar-derived wake characteristics [PDF]
We study the calibration of the Dynamic Wake Meandering (DWM) model using high-spatial- and high-temporal-resolution SpinnerLidar measurements of the wake field collected at the Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) facility located in Lubbock, Texas, USA.
