Validity range:

Other considerations: Clean rotor blades, substantially horizontal, undisturbed air flow, turbine
operated within nominal limits according to the Electrical Specification.

The thrust coefficient Ct is used for the calculation of the wind speed deficit in the wake of a wind
turbine.

Ct is defined by the following expression:

Ct = F / (0.5 * ad * w2 * A)

where
F = Rotor force [N]
ad = Air density [kg/m3]
w = Wind speed [m/s]
A = Swept area of rotor [m2]
