An Analytical Model for the Effect of Vertical Wind Veer on Wind Turbine Wakes

In this study, an analytical wake model for predicting the mean velocity field downstream of a wind turbine under veering incoming wind is systematically derived and validated. The new model, which is an extended version of the one introduced by Bastankhah and Porté-Agel, is based upon th...
