A double-multiple streamtube model for vertical axis wind turbines of arbitrary rotor loading

<p>We introduce an improved formulation of the double-multiple streamtube (DMST) model for the prediction of the flow quantities of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). The improvement of the new formulation lies in that it renders the DMST valid for any induction factor, i.e., for any combinat...
