An alternative form of the super-Gaussian wind turbine wake model

Frédéric Blondel and Marie Cathelain
Authors' note: since the publication of this model, a revised set of parameters reported to offer improved accuracy has been proposed in Blondel (2023). We strongly advise using that updated parameter set.

Short summary
Analytical wind turbine wake models are of high interest for wind farm designers: they provide an estimation of wake losses for a given layout at a low computational cost. Consequently they are heavily used for wind farm design and power production evaluation. While most analytical models focus on far-wake characteristics, we propose an approach that is able to represent both near- and far-wake velocity deficit, enabling the simulation of closely packed wind farms.
