Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Numerical Simulation of Two Dimensional Angle of Attack

Abstract:

wind power is the most effective form of wind energy utilization, modern large-scale wind turbine with horizontal axis wind mainly. Horizontal axis wind turbine aerodynamic performance calculation of the wind turbine aerodynamics research hot spot, is a wind turbine aerodynamic optimization design and calculation of critical load. Horizontal axis wind turbine airfoil aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine operation characteristics and life plays a decisive role". Using Fluent software on the horizontal axis wind turbine numerical simulation, analysis of the United States of America S809NREL airfoil aerodynamic characteristics of different angles of attack numerical simulation, analyzes the different angles of attack in the vicinity of the pressure, velocity distribution. By solving the two-dimensional unsteady, compressible N-S equations for the calculation of wind turbine airfoil S809used the characteristics of flow around. N-S equation in body-fitted coordinate system is given, with the Poisson equation method to generate the C grid.
