The flow around free end of a finite circular cylinder(FC) embedded in an atmospheric boundary layer has been investigated experimentally. The experiments were carried out in a closed-return type subsonic wind tunnel with varying aspect ratio of the finite cylinder mounted vertically on a flat plate. The wake structures behind a 2-D cylinder and a finite cylinder located in a uniform flow were also measured for comparison. Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was about Re=20,000. A hot-wire anemometer was employed to measure the wake velocity and the mean pressure distributions on the cylinder surface were also measured. The flow past the FC free end shows a complicated three-dimensional wake structure and flow phenomenon is quite different from that of 2-D cylinder. The three-dimensional flow structure was attributed to the downwashing counter rotating vortices separated from the FC free end. As the FC aspect ratio decreases, the vortex shedding frequency is decreased and the vortex formation length is increased compared to that of 2-D cylinder. Due to the descending counter-rotating twin-vortex, in the region near the FC free end, regular vortex shedding from the cylinder is suppressed and the vortex formation region is hardly established. In the wake center region, the mean velocity for the FC located in atmospheric boundary layer has large velocity deficit, compared to that of uniform flow.

Around the center of the wake, the mean velocity for the FC located in atmospheric boundary layer has large velocity deficit compared to that of uniform flow.

본 연구에서는 NREL 5 MW 해상풍력터빈 모형의 후류 유동장 분석을 위해 1/86 축소모형을 사용한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 정격출력 속도 11.4 m/s와 회전수 1,045 rpm 조건에서 열선풍속계를 사용하여 반경의 6배까지 후류에서 속도 결핍 및 난류도 변화를 측정하는 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 풍력터빈의 후류에서의 속도결핍은 횡방향과 수직 방향으로는 반경의 2배 이내에서 회복됨을 볼 수 있었으며, 끝단 와류에 의한 영향은 반경의 5배 이후에는 나타나지 않음을 볼 수 있었다. 또한, 후류의 난류도는 블레이드 끝단 부근에서 크게 나타나며 길이방향으로 반경 거리까지는 급격한 감소가 일어나지만 이 이후부터 반경의 6배까지 유지되었다.
