Airfoil Shape Optimization of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blade using a Discrete Adjoint Solver

In this study, airfoil shape optimization of a wind turbine blade is performed using the ANSYS Fluent Adjoint Solver. The aim of this optimization process is to increase the wind turbine output power, and the objective function is to maximize the airfoil lift to drag ratio (Cl/CD ). This study is ap...
