Vortex theory of the ideal wind turbine
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Based on the concepts outlined by Joukowsky nearly a century ago, an analytical aerodynamic optimization model is developed for rotors with a finite number of blades and constant circulation distribution. In the paper we show the basics of the new model and compare its efficiency with results for rotors designed using the optimization model of Betz.
