Counterflow in the direction of the mainstream was observed even in the averaged wake-flow field. For a more detailed investigation of the counterflow regions, the three-dimensional flow field was reconstructed through computation from the velocity data obtained at each measurement point and was analyzed by means of velocity vector maps, vorticity distributions, and path lines. A clear swirl pattern in two-dimensional path lines was observed near the counterflow region on the equatorial plane in the wake; however, the vorticity of the swirl pattern part was weak., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA0062070021, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-13-001E}, pages = {263--270}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構(JAXA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {Measurements of Counter Flow Region in Averaged Wake-Velocity-Field of a Small Straight-Bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine}, volume = {JAXA-SP-13-001E}, year = {2013} }
