This paper discusses the procedure of a blockage effect correction method involving small-scale wind turbine rotor experimental data. To simulate the aerodynamic performance of full-scale rotors in the field, however, measured data from scaled model experiments need to be analyzed appropriately....

The development of a low-noise wind turbine rotor and propeller is often cost-effective and is in fact a race against time to those who wish to build and test a small-scale rotor instead of an expensive full-scale rotor. The issue of this approach has to do with the interpretation of wind tunnel...
