Effect of Rotor Thrust on the Average Tower Drag of Downwind Turbines

Effect of Rotor Thrust on the Average Tower Drag of Downwind Turbines

A new analysis method to calculate the rotor-induced average tower drag of downwind turbines in the blade element momentum (BEM) method was developed in this study. The method involves two parts: calculation of the wind speed distribution using computational fluid dynamics, with the rotor modeled as...
