Commercially available wind yield assessment models rely on superposition of wakes calculated for isolated single turbines. These methods of wake simulation fail to account for emergent flow physics that may affect the behaviour of multiple turbines and their wakes and therefore wind farm yield predictions. In this paper wake-wake interaction  is modelled computationally (CFD) and physically (in a hydraulic flume) to investigate physical causes of discrepancies  between analytical modelling and simulations or measurements. Three effects, currently neglected in commercial models, are  identified as being of importance: 1) when turbines are directly aligned, the combined wake is shortened relative to the single turbine wake; 2) when wakes are adjacent, each will be lengthened due to reduced mixing; and 3) the pressure field of downstream turbines can move and modify wakes flowing close to them

Limitations to the validity of single wake superposition in wind farm yield assessment
