A Novel Analytical Wake Model with a Cosine-Shaped Velocity Deficit

A novel analytical model is proposed and validated in this paper to predict the velocity deficit in the wake downwind of a wind turbine. The model is derived by employing mass and momentum conservation and assuming a cosine-shaped distribution for the velocity deficit. In this model, a modified wake...
