2.3. Cascade Model
In the cascade model [19] the VAWT blades are arranged in vanes called cascade and
positioned in equal interspaces of the turbine perimeter divided by the number of blades.
The aerodynamic properties of the blades are calculated independently taking in
consideration the upwind and downwind sides of the rotor, their local Reynolds number
and the local angle of attack.
This model does not have convergence problems and provides good performance
prediction in low and high TSR. However, like the vortex model, the cascade model
requires a high computation time.
