Numerical analysis of transonic flow over the FFA-W3-211 wind turbine tip airfoil by M. C. Vitulano, M. C. Vitulano, D. De Tavernier, G. De Stefano, D. von Terzi

“…Then, the threshold between subsonic and supersonic flow is provided, considering also an increase of the Reynolds number (<i>Re</i>) from a characteristic value used in the wind tunnel experiments to the one realistic for large rotors. A strong dependence on this quantity is observed, revealing that, for the same Mach number, also the Reynolds number plays a crucial role in promoting the occurrence of transonic flow. …”
