An Aerodynamic Method for the Analysis of Isolated Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines

The aerodynamic analysis of a wind turbine represents a very complex task since it involves an unsteady three-dimensional viscous flow. In most existing performance-analysis methods, wind turbines are considered isolated so that interference effects caused by other rotors or by the site topology are...
