Aerodynamic Analysis of a Wind-Turbine Rotor Affected by Pitch Unbalance

The aerodynamics of a rotor with pitch imbalance has been investigated experimentally and numerically in the present work. The comparison of mean velocity and turbulence intensity in the balanced and unbalanced cases indicated that a pitch imbalance modifies both the mean velocity and the turbulent...
