Multipoint high-fidelity CFD-based aerodynamic shape optimization of a 10 MW wind turbine

<p>The wind energy industry relies heavily on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze new turbine designs. To utilize CFD earlier in the design process, where lower-fidelity methods such as blade element momentum (BEM) are more common, requires the development of new tools. Tools that...
