Observation of a small-scale wind turbine in a wind tunnel is a preliminary way to produce
data that would describe the aerodynamic characteristics of the large one. The full-scale
wind turbine has much greater Reynolds number than the miniature that makes the data
might not be valuable directly. In this paper, the application of the Buckingham π theorem is
studied in predicting the performances of the full-scale wind turbine based on the small-
scale wind turbine performances. The blade element momentum theory (BEMT) computation …
