Short summary
This study explores how changing wind turbine blade length affects the aerodynamics behind the turbine. Using high-fidelity simulations, we found that varying blade lengths accelerates the leapfrogging event but does not improve wake recovery directly. In contrast, turbulence plays a bigger role, as the wake breakdown process is more influenced by it over the studied rotor asymmetries. These findings provide insights for designing more efficient wind turbine rotors.
