A study of the near wake of a model wind turbine using particle image velocimetry

Whole-field velocity and vorticity measurements have been obtained in the near wake of a model wind turbine using the technique of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The experiments were conducted in a water channel with the turbine operating over a range of tip speed ratios, λ = 1.6 - 8. These were...
