Abstract: An experimental investigation of the first five diameters of the wake behind a 0.9 m diameter model wind turbine with three blades has been undertaken. The measurements were performed at the turbine design condition, at which the tip speed ratio λR=6 and the tip-chord Reynolds number Rec≈105. The turbine uses the NREL S826 profile along the full length of the blades and was tested in a uniform flow with 0.24% turbulence intensity.
