Abstract
For studies of the flow downstream wind turbines, the initial state of the how is of importance. In this study the flow generated by a wind turbine ha s been calculated. The purpose is to study how a logarithmic wind profile a nd yaw, modifies the initial state. For validation of the model, measuremen ts from the Alsvik wind farm are used.
