An Aerodynamic Method for the Preliminary Design of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

The present paper describes a method developed to assist in the preliminary aerodynamic design of wind turbines by identifying regions of the rotor disk which are dominated by unsteady and/or three-dimensional effects. The technique is based on a blade element/momentum predictor that has been ex...
