Abstract

The scale of wind turbines expected to generate renewable energy is very wide, from micro wind turbines to large wind turbines, and in recent years, even super large wind turbines installed offshore. Model experiments and CFD have been conducted in research on the flow around wind turbines during power generation, but there are not many observations of actual wind turbines. In this research, flow visualization around the actual wind turbine was conducted by illuminating the snowfall, and evaluated the results using PIV processing.
