Comparisons between the Wake of a Wind Turbine Generator Operated at Optimal Tip Speed Ratio and the Wake of a Stationary Disk
Figure 12
Spanwise profiles of the time-averaged streamwise () velocity at (() = (0, 0, 0) indicates the center of the rotor; see Figure 3). The profiles are observed at (○), (□) and (◊), where is the rotor diameter. The streamwise velocity and the spanwise position on the -axis are normalized by the uniform inflow velocity, , and , respectively. The -coordinate of the rotor is shown with arrows.
