Effects of rotation on the wake of a wind turbine at high Reynolds numbers

ORAL

Abstract

A better understanding of wind turbine wakes can improve wind farm planning, leading to improvements in farm efficiency. To reveal the effects of rotation on the wake of a wind turbine, a wind tunnel study was conducted at a range of tip speed ratios, 4
