We dealt with the wake of a permeable disk with different solidity as a simple model to investigate an essence of wake of a wind turbine. Velocity defect at the center of the streamwise cross section of the wake was measured at each downstream position by hot-wire anemometer to characterize the wake. Variations of the velocity defect obey power law in far wake regions and the variation of the corresponding index numbers with respect to the solidity has the local maximum. It suggests there is a regime change on the vortex structure. We also investigated the wake of a model of two-blade turbine. Here the variations of the velocity defect show different tendency in far wake regions.
