Extraction of the wake induction and angle of attack on rotating wind turbine blades from PIV and CFD results

The analysis of wind turbine aerodynamics requires accurate information about the axial and tangential wake induction as well as the local angle of attack along the blades. In this work we present a new method for obtaining them conveniently from the velocity field. We apply the method to the New...
