Aeroelastic Instability and Flutter for a 10 MW Wind Turbine

The goal of this thesis is to evaluate if flutter is a challenge to a 10 MW wind turbine. Flutter is an aeroelastic instability which occurs due to the interaction between the aerodynamic forces and the elasticity of the blade. Torsional motions of the blade lead to variations in the aerodynamic for...
