Review of computational fluid dynamics for wind turbine wake aerodynamics (2011, background): “12 Whale et al. 53 also found that the behavior of the wake is possibly rather insensitive to the blade Reynolds number.”

Wind-Turbine and Wind-Farm Flows: A Review (2019, background): “…of tip vortices is evidently greater than the pitch of the root vortices, both decrease with the increase of tip-speed ratio (i.e., the ratio between the velocity of the blade tip to that of the unperturbed incoming flow at hub height) (Whale et al. 2000; Hu et al. 2012; Sherry et al. 2013b).”
Tip-vortex instability and turbulent mixing in wind-turbine wakes (2015, background): “However, previous studies have demonstrated that the wake exhibits a low dependency on the Reynolds number (Whale et al. 2000).”
Wind turbine wake aerodynamics (2003, background): “Velocities Detailed velocity measurements have been performed at numerous places with numerous different models in the same number of different tunnels [11,15,40–58].”
Wind-Turbine Wakes in a Convective Boundary Layer: A Wind-Tunnel Study (2013, methodology): “…effects of the incoming flow on the wind-turbine wake structure have been studied through wind-tunnel experiments and numerical simulations (e.g., Whale et al. 2000; Vermeer 2001; Medici and Alfredsson 2006; Chamorro and Porté-Agel 2009, 2010; Hancock and Pascheke 2010; Porté-Agel et al. 2011;…”
