The entrainment hypothesis consists of a concise turbulence model, which has been widely used to model geophysical flows including plumes, gravity currents, and breaking internal waves. This paper employs the entrainment hypothesis to obtain a model for the wake of a single wind turbine, without having to linearize the governing equations, or needing to assume a wake radius that grows linearly (or in any other prescribed manner) with distance downstream. Assuming a top-hat velocity deficit and a zero pressure gradient, the analysis presented here re-discovers a result first due to Morton (B.R. Morton. J. Fluid Mech. 10:101–112, 1961), which however appears to have been completely overlooked until now. The predictions from this entrainment wake model are compared with published laboratory data and field observations, finding good agreement. Since the entrainment model does not require assuming a specific relationship between wake diameter and distance downstream, it may also enable simple extensions to account for complex terrain and for effects of yaw.
