Well, Reynolds numbers are for laminar incoming flow. Which you canīt expect fully on an rotorhead
turbulent flow as well - high Reynolds number.

You made a point about scale in wind tunnel tests which is why I mentioned Reynolds numbers - I didn't say it was applicable to VRS and flow around a real rotor system.
