  4. Abstract:
  5. A series of experiments were carried out to study the unsteady wakes behind an oscillating airfoil. The airfoil is a section of a wind turbine blade oscillating in pitch about the quarter chord axis at various reduced frequencies, oscillation amplitude and mean angles of attack. Real time velocity profiles were obtained using total and static pressure at 35 vertically aligned points behind the airfoil via two similar rakes. The rakes were located at a distance of 1.5 chord length behind the model. The results show great influence of oscillation amplitude and reduced frequency on the wake velocity profiles.
