Aero- & Structural Dynamics

Aerodynamics of wind turbines

Aerodynamic is the interface between wind energy ant the rotor of the wind turbine. The geometry of a rotor blade can be described by chord length distribution and twist. The aerodynamic characteristics of a blade section are driving the dynamic characteristics of the entire system.

Our service:

• Creating of 2D-lift curves
• Transition from 2D lift curvs form measurements or CFD to post stall characteristics
• 3D-correction of lift curves
• Consulting for the modification of rotor blades
