CFD Analysis of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blade for Offshore Application
Аннотация
The objective of this study is to illustrate the unsteady aerodynamic effects of a floating offshore wind turbine blade and predict the power profile for the turbine blade. The actuator model and the shear stress transport (SST)
k- turbulent model were used to predict the flow within the vicinity of the blade profile. The result shows that the maximum lift drag ratio of 3200 can be obtained using the integration of the models. The work further revealed
that the pressure is maximum at the leading edge and the velocity show even distribution across the blade profile. The unsteady aerodynamics analyses were demonstrated to show the power coefficients at different tip speed
ratio of the blade and the wind speed for different loading conditions. The simulation results were compared to various approaches from previous studies, and it shows precision in modeling power characteristics of wind
turbine blade for offshore application.
