Abstract: The present work considers an experimental investigation of wind turbine near wake by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) visualization technique. The PIV technique gives a complete picture of all poin ts at the domain under consideration. The study is focused on the effect of tip speed ratio ( ? ) and Reynolds number (Re c ) on the near wake characteristics. A three - blade model of wind turbine with airfoil SG 6040 16% is tested in water channel at Re c range between 1.28 10 4 and 7.68 10 4 . Various tip speed ratios are tested between ? 2 and ? 12. Experiments are also performed at constant ? 8 and variable Re c in the range between 2.56 10 4 and 5.12 10 4 .
