Aerodynamic measurements on a small HAWT rotor in axial and yawed flow

Bellia, J. M. (Cranfield University, 1990-07)

Current wind turbine performance codes are not yet able to predict the rotor aerodynamic behaviour with sufficient certainty. This has led to both the over-design of blades and to operational restrictions in certain ...
Aerodynamic surface pressure measurement in atmosphere and wind tunnel on a vertical axis wind turbine blade using pressure transducers

Oram, C. E. (1989-09)

Blade aerodynamic loads during operation of a wind turbine are poorly understood. Better measurements of these forces are needed for the design of more cost effective turbines. Existing estimates have been inferred from ...
Computational Study of Stalled Wind Turbine Rotor Performance

Rawlinson-Smith, R. I. (Cranfield University, 1991-01)

Simplification of the aerodynamic control of large horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) has been identified as an important step towards improved reliability and reduced cost. At present the majority of large HMrrs use ...
