A vortex wake model used to assess the performance of horizontal axis wind turbines by partitioning the flow field downstream of the rotor into three regions. 2, record 2, English, - fast%20free%20wake%20method
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Success of vortex theories in the performance analysis of horizontal axis wind turbines depends greatly upon accurate specification of the geometry of the vortex wake... An earlier wake model of helicopter rotors is extended for wind turbine applications, the fast free wake method(FFW). The FFW was accomplished by partitioning the flow field downstream of the rotor into three regions :(1) the near wake, modeled as a series of straight vortex lines;(2) the intermediate wake, modeled as a number of vortex rings; and(3) the far wake, taken to be a semi-infinite cylindrical wake. 3, record 2, English, - fast%20free%20wake%20method
