Numerical Simulation Study on Aerodynamic Performance of Wind Turbine Airfoils with Different Thickness

Han Zhu

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The aerodynamic performance of wind turbine airfoil is an important foundation in the wind turbine aerodynamic design and performance analysis.NUMECA software was used to numerically simulate the airfoils in series NACA634 with the relative thickness of 18%,and was then compared with the experimental data.The results were relatively consistent.Three kinds of NACA63418,NACA63425 and NACA63439 airfoils with different thickness were simulated simultaneously,and the aerodynamic performance of these three kinds of airfoils were compared.
