The Research of Wind Turbine Airfoils Aerodynamic Characteristics Effects Based on Numerical Simulation

摘要

With the development of large-scale wind turbine, the limitation of the classical aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbine research methods has become more sophisticated, and the improvement of CFD numerical simulation technology has provided a new research method for wind turbine aerodynamic characteristics. By mean of FLUENT software, we did a quantitative investigation on the influence of the same airfoil at different angles of attack to the aerodynamic characteristics and compared it with the results of the classical methods. It confirmed the accuracy and reliability of CFD numerical simulation method which could be widely used as an aerodynamic research related aid.
