A simple model of the wind turbine induction zone derived from numerical simulations

Abstract

AbstractThe induction zone in front of different wind turbine rotors is studied by means of steady‐state Navier‐Stokes simulations combined with an actuator disk approach. It is shown that, for distances beyond 1 rotor radius upstream of the rotors, the induced velocity is self‐similar and independent of the rotor geometry. On the basis of these findings, a simple analytical model of the induction zone of wind turbines is proposed.
