A Windmill's Theoretical Maximum Extraction of Power from the Wind.
Inglis, David Rittenhouse
American Journal of Physics, v47 n5 p416-20 May 1979
Explains that the efficiency and the useful power available from a windmill turbine, of a laminar-flow model, will vary due to rotational kinetic energy of the downwind stream and turbulent mixing from outside the boundaries of the idealized stream. (GA)
