Development of a CFD-Based Wind Turbine Rotor Optimization Tool in Considering Wake Effects

In the present study, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based blade optimization algorithm is introduced for designing single or multiple wind turbine rotors. It is shown that the CFD methods provide more detailed aerodynamics features during the design process. Because high computational cost lim...
