Short summary
Wakes of a multi-rotor wind turbine configuration are evaluated using numerical simulations. Compared to equivalent conventional single-rotor turbine wakes, multi-rotor turbine wakes are found to recover faster and generate less turbulence; thus, multi-rotor turbine wind farms are more efficient, with smaller wake losses. The benefits of multi-rotor wind farms over conventional wind farms are sensitive to tip spacing, thrust coefficient and turbine spacing.
