Modelling the influence of yaw using a simple vortex rotor model
A simple analytical rotor model based on vortex theory is briefly presented and used to investigate the main mechanisms for wind turbine rotors operating at yaw misalignment. The overall findings of the model is verified by comparing with an existing model as well as with results obtained using the actuator disc technique combined with full Navier- Stokes computations.
