An analytical linear two-dimensional actuator disc model and comparisons with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations

The continuous up-scaling of wind turbines enabled by more lightweight and flexible blades in combination with coning has challenged the assumptions of a plane disc in the commonly used blade element momentum (BEM)-type aerodynamic codes for the design and analysis of wind turbines. The objective wi...
