Effect of Pitch Angle and Reynolds Number on Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Small Horizontal Axis Wind Rotor

Wind tunnel experiments were conducted on a 2-blade horizontal axis wind rotor to investigate the effect of pitch angle and Reynolds number on aerodynamic characteristics. The experimental study was conducted in the start-up and operating stages and the results for the two stages are discussed, resp...
