Abstract: In the present paper it is first demonstrated that state of the art 3D CFD codes are capable of predicting the correct dependency of the integrated drag of a flat plate placed perpendicular ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is an improved understanding of the physics of the aeroelastic motion of wind turbine blades in order to improve the numerical models used for their design. Two- ...

Abstract: Wind turbine blades are subject to complex flow conditions. For operation in yaw and turbulent inflow, the blade sections appear to execute a motion more complex than a harmonic blade oscillation, ...
