Method to Predict Outputs of Two-Dimensional VAWT Rotors by Using Wake Model Mimicking the CFD-Created Flow Field

Recently, wind farms consisting of clusters of closely spaced vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have attracted the interest of many people. In this study, a method using a wake model to predict the flow field and the output power of each rotor in a VAWT cluster is proposed. The method uses the inf...
