Aerodynamic Optimization of Airfoil Profiles for Small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Aerodynamic Optimization of Airfoil Profiles for Small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

The purpose of this study is the development of an automated two-dimensional airfoil shape optimization procedure for small horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT), with an emphasis on high thrust and aerodynamically stable performance. The procedure combines the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) anal...
