Decoupling the bifurcated effects of Reynolds and Mach numbers on the dynamic stall of a wind turbine airfoil
Modern ultra-large wind turbines can expose their outboard blade sections to Reynolds numbers above 1 × 107 and Mach numbers above 0.3. In conventional fixed-geometry tests, both parameters vary with inflow velocity. Their individual aerodynamic effects are, therefore, difficult to distinguish. This study presents a va...
