Aerodynamic optimization of horizontal axis wind turbine blades by using CST method, BEM theory and genetic algorithm
Oğuz, Keriman; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, an aerodynamic design and optimization study for rotor airfoils and blades of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) is performed by using different airfoil representations and genetic algorithm. Two airfoil representations, the Class-Shape Transformation (CST) method and the Parametric Section (PARSEC) method, are used for the airfoil geometry designs. Their aerodynamic data is obtained by a potential flow solver software, XFOIL. The Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory is used to calculate t...

Aerodynamic design and optimization of horizontal axis wind turbines by using bem theory and genetic algorithm
Ceyhan, Özlem; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
An aerodynamic design and optimization tool for wind turbines is developed by using both Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory and Genetic Algorithm. Turbine blades are optimized for the maximum power production for a given wind speed, a rotational speed, a number of blades and a blade radius. The optimization variables are taken as a fixed number of sectional airfoil profiles, chord lengths, and twist angles along the blade span. The airfoil profiles and their aerodynamic data are taken from an airfoil datab...

AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF SUPERSONIC FLOW OVER A SIMPLE AIRCRAFT GEOMETRY BY USING CST AND PANEL METHODS

In this paper, the aerodynamic properties of a selected aircraft geometry are calculated in supersonic flow condition using PANAIR. PANAIR is an open-source high-order panel method solver for irrotational and inviscid flows and it is more efficient than higher fidelity CFD analyses for the preliminary design process since it is faster and easier to use. A batch of supersonic analyses is completed for different wing/body configurations for the selected aircraft geometry and with various panel g...
