Hybrid Vortex Method for the Aerodynamic Analysis of Wind Turbine

Hybrid Vortex Method for the Aerodynamic Analysis of Wind Turbine

The hybrid vortex method, in which vortex panel method is combined with the viscous-vortex particle method (HPVP), was established to model the wind turbine aerodynamic and relevant numerical procedure program was developed to solve flow equations. The panel method was used to calculate the blade su...
