Considerations of wake rotation can improve our modeling. The initial stream is not rotating, but the interaction with the wind machine causes a rotating wake. For a wake that has both translational and rotational kinetic energy, thermodynamic considerations lead us to expect a lower power extraction than for a nonrotating wake. 1, record 1, English, - wake%20rotation
