Short summary
Wind turbines rarely operate in isolation but rather in close proximity within wind farms. Currently analysis methods are designed for analyzing turbines in isolation, or within a waked region. Actuator cylinder theory is extended to handle multiple vertical axis wind turbines in close proximity. We find good agreement in power predictions as compared to available higher-fidelity simulation data. The corresponding code may be useful for conceptual design and has been fully open-sourced.
