Verifying the Blade Element Momentum Method in unsteady, radially varied, axisymmetric loading using a vortex ring model

W Yu, CS Ferreira, G van Kuik, D Baldacchino - Wind Energy, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Although the Blade Element Momentum method has been derived for the steady
conditions, it is used for unsteady conditions by using corrections of engineering dynamic …

Coupling of a free wake vortex ring near-wake model with the Jensen and Larsen far-wake deficit models

JW Van Heemst, D Baldacchino, D Mehta… - Journal of Physics …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper presents a simple physical model to improve the currently used far-wake deficit
models in the wind industry. The main improvement is deemed on the determination of the …
