Hi everybody,
I'm writing in English for just letting the members from the American forum read this, too.
In the last days I took a lot of time for simulating a so called TsAGI "B" series wing (see the javafoil tool for details). I simulated a 1 wing
turbine with a diameter of 1m. I choose very low speeds to get information on the behaviour of starting the turbine.
Starting with 5RPM I doubled the speed to 10RPM and 20RPM. What we can see is a lot of humps in the graph, which are caused by eddies
created in the wind shadow of the wing crossing the wind in perpendicular direction, which causes stall. See, what I mean in the following
graphs showing torque per rotational angle and finally in a short video showing the eddies.

Eddies in the wind shadow of the wingHope you get some helpful information out of that.
