Nonpotential aerodynamics for windmills in shear winds.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Computer programs have been designed for the study of three dimensional nonpotential incompressible steady and unsteady flow around complex horizontal axis windmill configurations. The transient potential analysis has been used to evaluate the potential distribution on a one blade rotor in shear wind under the hypothesis that the vorticity field present in the unperturbed flow is undisturbe by the presence of the windmill. The similar steady-state potential analyses have been incorporated into other computer programs. (A)
