Numerical simulation of a flow past a triangular sail-type blade of a wind generator using the ANSYS FLUENT software package

Аннотация

An air flow past a single triangular sail-type blade of a wind turbine is analyzed by numerical simulation for low velocities of the incoming flow. The results of numerical simulation indicate a monotonic increase in the drag force and the lift force as functions of the incoming flow; empirical dependences of these quantities are obtained.
