Abstract
The velocity field induced by a bound vortex disk, or vortex actuator disk is derived in this chapter. Direct integration of the Biot–Savart law is used and the derivation steps are detailed. The indefinite form of the integral is expressed first. The definite form follows. Different properties of the flow are provided. The results presented in this section were published in the article titled “Cylindrical vortex wake model: right cylinder” [1]. Results from this chapter are used in Chap. 17.
