In 2001, PAREZANOVIC et al fulfilled a practical experiment and theoretical analysis in an article entitled " DESIGN OF AIRFOILS FOR WIND TURBINE BLADES " (Parezanovic et al., 2001). Design of an airfoil to increase the return at wind turbine is the most important point. ...
2 The work described herein focuses on the experimental aeroacoustic analysis of six airfoils that are candidates for use on small wind turbines.
The objective of this work is to carry out numerical simulation of the aerodynamic behavior of a three-bladed Darreius vertical axis wind turbine characterized by the use of four high performing airfoils DU06-W2-200, S1046, NACA 0015, NACA 0018 airfoils.

The lower 80 rpm value is used to start up the windmill and for wind speeds up to 8 m/s, whereas the 120 rpm setting is used for wind speeds between 8 and 14 m/s. The design power of 90 kW is reached at a wind speed of 13 m/s. For comparison, the chart also contains the power curve of a windmill using conventional airfoil sections, which result ...

airfoils used for wind turbine rotor blades. Some researchers have used blended wings using two different types of airfoils in order to achieve the desired design.
Early wind turbine blades typically used airfoil shapes borrowed from helicopter or low-speed aircraft use, such as the NACA 23xxx or 44xx series ().These airfoils have shapes that are everywhere convex and in particular do not have a concave or reflex aft portion.
The Gorlov helical turbine (GHT) is a water turbine evolved from the Darrieus turbine design by altering it to have helical blades/foils. It was patented in a series of patents from September 19, 1995 to July 3, 2001 and won 2001 ASME Thomas A. …

Aircraft airfoils used on wind-turbine blades are often used at a lower Reynolds number than that intended by their designers. In addition, the airfoils are often scaled to a greater thickness, which often leads to undesirable performance characteristics. The performance characteristics of the NACA 23XXX series of airfoils, for example ...

Optimization algorithms coupled with computational fluid dynamics are used for wind turbines airfoils design. This differs from the traditional aerospace design process since the lift-to-drag ratio is the most important parameter and the angle of attack is large.
With the depletion of fossil fuels, increasing emissions, and the inevitability of global warming, the interest in renewable energy grows. Conventional solutions, like horizontal axis wind turbines, are reaching the limits of their capabilities.
Recent studies have demonstrated that, when rotating around an axis orthogonal to the flow direction, airfoils are virtually transformed into equivalent airfoils with a camber line defined by their arc of rotation.
