The Role of Turbulence on Wind Energy: From Single Blade to Wind Array

Main Objectives:-To quantify aerodynamic performance.-To acquire the mean flow over the blade in order to gain insight into turbulent flow scale mixing on stall behavior. - To investigate the effect of aerodynamic enhancing vortex generators. - Measure profiles of horizontally averaged momentum fluxes & Mean K.E.
