Vortex Ring Theory—An Alternative to the Existing Actuator Disk and Rotating Annular Stream Tube Theories

Vortex Ring Theory—An Alternative to the Existing Actuator Disk and Rotating Annular Stream Tube Theories

Currently, the actuator disk theory (ADT) and the rotating annular stream-tube theory (RAST), both of which predicate on the axial momentum and generalized momentum theories, among others, are commonly used in investigating the aerodynamic characteristics of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). Th...
