Effect of Rain on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine – A Computational Study

This paper analyzes numerically the impact of rainfall on the aerodynamic performance of a three-bladed Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine, with blades constructed by NACA 4418 airfoil. The simulations were conducted by the help of the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics code, ANSYS Fluent. Firstly, t...
