Design optimization of a blunt trailing-edge airfoil for wind turbines under rime ice conditions

A new optimization method is developed for the design of a blunt trailing-edge airfoil for wind turbines under rime ice conditions. The parametric representation of the airfoil is given using the profile integration theory and B-spline function. The rime ice shape from wind tunnel tests is fitted us...
