Objective
Dynamic stall plays a significant role in the dynamic behaviour of a turbine.
In order to simulate that behaviour correctly a model of dynamic stall must be included in aeroelastic codes. Most dynamic stall models, however, rely on empirically derived coefficients taken from dynamic wind tunnel measurements.
Studies of the literature have shown that most experimental data does not cover the appropriate scale of models and frequencies of motion that are relevant for large horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs).
Preliminary studies of dynamic wind tunnel tests of aerofoils have shown that the type of test (thick airfoils, high Reynolds numbers, high reduced frequencies) will be very costly. It was found that more knowledge was needed to define such a test so that appropriate and rigorous test results would come out cost-effectively.
The objective of this project is to define a realistic test set-up and work plan for future dynamic wind tunnel tests on aerofoils used for large scale HAWTs at dynamic conditions (angles of attack, reduced frequencies and Reynolds numbers) that are pertinent to large scale HAWTs.
It is hoped that the workplan will serve as a basis for future dynamic wind tunnel tests, which can only be done in an international cooperation because of the high costs involved.
