Research on Correction to Fitting Factors of Shape Function and Convergence of Wind Turbine Airfoils

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the functional expression methods of wind turbine airfoils, the method of the correction to parameter factors of shape function by iterative calculation in the principle of making the residual error minimum between the fitting airfoil and the target airfoil is presented in this paper, which makes the fitting precision improved compared with the parametric representation of original airfoils. The method of the correction to parameter factors of shape function proposed in this paper is used for parametric representation of more than 20 kinds of typical airfoils and then the geometric and aerodynamic convergence are intensive studied. The results show that the minimal order of the integrated expression of airfoils is decreased by the proposed method in this paper and the mathematical models of airfoils which facilitate the unification of optimal design are established.
