Numerical Study of a Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Aerodynamics Operating at Low Wind Speed

The present work aims to study the aerodynamic characteristics of a newly designed three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method. The blade geometry is designed using an improved Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method to be similar in size to the Am...
