Which consequence results when wind turbine blade Reynolds number exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number induces turbulent flow; it causes increased drag and fluctuating forces resulting in fatigue cracking. This is because turbulent boundary layer separation induces cyclical aeroelastic stresses; therefore fatigue increases; rather than voltage altering when flow transitions past designed limits.
