A CFD Analysis of a Micro Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blade Aerodynamics
This study investigates the performance of a micro Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) blade using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The 1.5 m long micro HAWT blade was designed using the Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEM). Parameters such as the chord length lift force, drag force, tip speed rat...
