A New Method of Determination of the Angle of Attack on Rotating Wind Turbine Blades

A New Method of Determination of the Angle of Attack on Rotating Wind Turbine Blades

The angle of attack (AoA) is the key parameter when extracting the aerodynamic polar from the rotating blade sections of a wind turbine. However, the determination of AoA is not straightforward using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or measurement. Since the incoming streamlines are bent because o...
