The scope of this paper is to perform a detailed experimental investigation of the shape error effect on the turbulence evolution behind NACA 64-618 airfoil. This airfoil is 3D-printed with predefined typical shape inaccuracies. A high-precision optical 3D scanner was used to assess the shape and surface quality of the manufactured models. The turbulent flow was studied using hot-wire anemometry. The developed force balance device was provided to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil. Experimental studies were carried out for three angles of attack, +10°, 0°, −10°, and different chord-based Reynolds numbers from 5.3 × 104 to 2.1 × 105. The obtained results show that the blunt trailing edge and rough surface decline the aerodynamic performance of the blades. In addition, the experimental results revealed a strong sensitivity of the Taylor microscale Reynolds number to the type of shape inaccuracy, especially at Re ≈ 1.7 × 105. We also discuss the evolution of the Reynolds stress components, the degree of flow anisotropy, and the power spectrum distributions depending on the airfoil inaccuracies. © 2022 by the authors.
