Abstract

The current paper describes the characteristics of the tip vortex in the near wake of a three-bladed upwind horizontal axis wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 3 m. Phase-locked stereo particle image velocimetry measurements were carried out under the influence of the wind tunnel walls that create...
