  4. Abstract:
  5. Extensive wind tunnel tests have been conducted to investigate effects of turbulence intensity variations on the behavior of a section of a wind turbine blade in an oscillatory motion. Special emphasize was applied on the aerodynamic characteristics when oscillating the model in the vicinity of its static stall angle of attack and in the post stall condition. The model had 0.25m chord and was pitched about its quarter-chord. Data were acquired at various Reynolds number, and reduced frequency. Results show that turbulent intensity has strong effect on the unsteady load coefficients, hence aerodynamic performance of this model. Furthermore, free stream turbulence has different effect on the aerodynamic loads when the maximum angle of attack is near the static stall angle or beyond it (Post stall condition)
