Source files for a journal article analyzing Reynolds number effects on the performance and near-wake of a vertical-axis cross-flow turbine, to be published in Energies.
Under experimental setup before test plan, define and calculate blockage, ways to correct for blockage, cite paper by Polagye and Cavagnaro on why it's hard to correct. We decided to publish as-is so people can model with this blockage. When we discuss the results we can discuss the effects of blockage. This can artificially increase Re, so the experiments may show earlier Re dependence thresholds.
