Aerodynamic performance prediction for the stalling HAWT rotor

Abstract

This report describes the production of a refined and validated model of the aerodynamic performance of a stalled wind turbine rotor, implemented as a suite of computer programmes, in steady axial flow. The new model makes use of more complex computational tools, treating the problem in three dimensions and including solutions of both the inviscid outer flow and viscous boundary layer. The model should allow the aerodynamic design of a medium to large scale fixed pitch rotor to be tackled with increased confidence. (UK).
