Direct Measurements of Turbulence and Flow Characteristics of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Using the Eddy Covariance Method

Turbulence intensity measurements of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) are essential to detemineitsefficiency and performance. In this study, the eddy covariance (EC) method was used to characterise the flow and directly measure turbulence of a VAWT in a controlled indoor laboratory using an ultraso...
