Short summary
We built a small wind turbine model and tested it in a wind tunnel while improving computer simulations. Results show simulations accurately predict wind turbine wake behavior behind spinning blades, matching measurements. Some differences remain near blade roots. Combining experiments with refined models helps engineers predict wind turbine performance with greater confidence, supporting more efficient renewable energy design.
