Generalised actuator disk theory: wake development with turbulent entrainment
Majid Bastankhah, Peter E. Hydon, Carl Shapiro +2
Classical actuator disk theory, developed more than a century ago, provides an idealised description of turbine rotor performance. It treats a rotor as an infinitesimally-thin perm…

Modelling turbulence in axisymmetric wakes: an application to wind turbine wakes
Majid Bastankhah, Jenna K. Zunder, Peter Hydon +2
A novel fast-running model is developed to predict the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in axisymmetric wake flows. This is achieved by mathema…
