Aerodynamics Analysis of Industrial Wind Turbines

Aerodynamic forces are used by all wind turbines to capture wind energy. Lift vector acts normal to the relative wind, whereas drag force acts parallel to the relative wind. The factors taken into account include the swept area of the turbine, the density of air, the wind speed, the aerodynamic efficiency, and the coefficient of power which is directly proportional to blade tip speed. The research demonstrates that the operational aerodynamic characteristics have a direct impact on the power produced, which will encourage researchers to concentrate on the most important aerodynamic factors for developing and manufacturing the next generation of wind turbines. At last, the results are examined whether the flow parameters meet the aerodynamic requirements for the design of industrial wind turbines.
