Vertical-axis wind-turbine computations using a 2D hybrid wake actuator-cylinder model

<p>The actuator-cylinder model was implemented in OpenFOAM by virtue of source terms in the Navier–Stokes equations. Since the stand-alone actuator cylinder is not able to properly model the wake of a vertical-axis wind turbine, the steady incompressible flow solver simpleFoam provided by Open...
