Flexible sail wind-turbines: Review of pertinent theoretical analyses

Abstract

Our theoretical understanding of the mode of operation of propeller type wind-turbines is now well established, whereas even preliminary theoretical analyses of the behaviours of flexible-sail type wind-turbines are virtually non-existent. This paper presents a preliminary stage in the process of rectifying this omission. Previous theoretical investigations about the pertinent aerodynamics of yacht sails are reviewed and their possible modifications to describe the behaviours of flexible-sail wind-turbines discussed.
