A crucial issue for these concepts is the accurate prediction of forces and moments, which contribute to the self-alignment. In contrast to the well-studied behaviour of torque and thrust, yaw moment and lateral forces on a rotor under yawed conditions have not been in focus of previous experimental tests for the validation of aerodynamic simulation tools. In the present work, a model turbine equipped with a 6-axis force/moment sensor to capture the complete load on the rotor is presented. A detailed study of the two-bladed model turbine's aerodynamic behaviour under yawed conditions was carried out within a range of yaw angles between -55 to + 55° with steps of 1 - 2.5°.en1742-659620191IOP Publ.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/TechnikJournal Article10.15480/882.252310.1088/1742-6596/1356/1/01201810.15480/882.2523Journal Article
