The Influence of Yaw and Coning on Small Bio-Inspired Wind Turbines
This thesis is inspired by the coning mechanism of samaras. The study consists of wind tunnel measurements of low aspect ratio horizontal-axis wind turbine models. The tested coning angles (β) ranged from 5◦ to 25◦, and power and tip-speed ratio were measured at Reynolds numbers Re_D = [0.46 ×10^5, …
