HAWT near-wake aerodynamics, part I: Axial flow conditions
An improved physical understanding of the rotor aerodynamics of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) is required to reduce the uncertainties associated with today's design codes. Wind tunnel experiments contribute to increased knowledge and enable validation and construction of models. The present study focuses on the near-wake of a model HA WT in both axial and yawed flow conditions. A t three downstream planes parallel to the rotor plane, single-sensor hot-film traverses are made. The phase-locked unsteady three-dimensional flow velocity vector is determined by a novel data reduction method. A series of two papers discusses the near-wake aerodynamics of a model HAWT. The main goals are to obtain a detailed understanding of the near-wake development and to arrive at a base for model construction and validation. The first paper presents the experimental setup, data reduction and the results for the baseline case (axial flow conditions). In the second paper, the results for the yawed flow cases are presented and the effect of yaw misalignment on the near-wake development is discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
