Wind Engineering | Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis
Research shows that the best way to combat tracker instability is through stow angles and proper damping. The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses show that at high stow angles, vortices will shed only on one side of the panel, better enabling a tracker to stay under control, even at high #wind speeds. The precise angle and damping required varies by tracker geometry and stiffness.
