Experimental Results for the NOWITECH/NORCOWE Blindtest

In this paper the experimental data for a blind test performed in collaboration between NOWITECH and NOR-COWE is presented. The purpose of the test was to compare measurements of a wind turbine wake to a variety of numerical techniques applied on the same geometry and flow conditions. The experiments were conducted in the con–trolled conditions of a wind tunnel. Hot wire anemometry has been applied to obtain data describing the highly turbulent flow. Data were obtained for TSR = 3, 6 and 9 for X/D = 1, 3 and 5.
