Detailed experimental investigation of the aerodynamics and blade/tower interaction of a 1.5 MW wind turbine in a downwind configuration

Abstract. We present a detailed experimental investigation of the flow details of the blade/tower interaction on a 1.5 MW wind turbine operated in a downwind configuration. The study aims to address claims of shortcomings in the downwind turbine concept, such as impulsive blade l...
