Aerodynamic Performance and Wake Flow of Crosswind Kite Power Systems

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 <inline-formula><math xmlns="http:/...
