Wind Farm Wake-Steering Map (2D)

Interactive 2D top-down wind-farm wake map that independently computes the whole plan-view speed field — not just the deficit at one downstream rotor — combining multiple overlapping turbine wakes with the Katic sum-of-squares model and a closed-form Jimenez deflection solution, so you can watch collective yaw steering actually merge and split wakes across a 3x3 farm.

This 2D companion to the wind-turbine wake-steering simulator zooms out from a single turbine pair to a small 3x3 wind farm seen from above. Instead of sampling the wake deficit at one downstream rotor, it computes the real plan-view wind-speed field across the whole farm, merging every front-row turbine's wake with the Katic sum-of-squares superposition model used in production wind-farm wake tools, and solving the Jiménez wake-deflection equation in closed form rather than stepping it numerically. Yawing the front row collectively deflects three overlapping wakes at once — sometimes merging them further, sometimes splitting them apart from the back row entirely — and the combined farm power, individual row power, and net gain over a non-yawed baseline all update live as you adjust yaw, wind speed, row and column spacing, and ambient turbulence.

A 2D top-down companion to the wind-turbine wake-steering sim that computes a real plan-view speed field across a 3x3 wind farm — merging three overlapping front-row wakes with the Katic sum-of-squares superposition model and a closed-form Jimenez deflection solution — instead of the 3D pair's single upstream/downstream deficit sample, so collective yaw steering visibly merges and splits real overlapping wakes.
