A review of the aerodynamics, design and analysis, and optimization
of wind turbines, combined with the author's unique software
Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is a comprehensive introduction to
the aerodynamics, scaled design and analysis, and optimization of
horizontal-axis wind turbines. The author -a noted expert on the
topic - reviews the fundamentals and basic physics of wind turbines
operating in the atmospheric boundary layer. He then explores more
complex models that help in the aerodynamic analysis and design of
turbine models. The text contains unique chapters on blade element
momentum theory, airfoil aerodynamics, rotational augmentation,
vortex-wake methods, actuator-line modeling, and designing
aerodynamically scaled turbines for model-scale experiments. The
author clearly demonstrates how effective analysis and design
principles can be used in a wide variety of applications and
operating conditions. The book integrates the easy-to-use, hands-on
XTurb design and analysis software that is available on a companion
website for facilitating individual analyses and future studies.
This component enhances the learning experience and helps with a
deeper and more complete understanding of the subject matter. This
important book: Covers aerodynamics, design and analysis and
optimization of wind turbines Offers the author's XTurb design and
analysis software that is available on a companion website for
individual analyses and future studies Includes unique chapters on
blade element momentum theory, airfoil aerodynamics, rotational
augmentation, vortex-wake methods, actuator-line modeling, and
designing aerodynamically scaled turbines for model-scale
experiments Demonstrates how design principles can be applied to a
variety of applications and operating conditions Written for senior
undergraduate and graduate students in wind energy as well as
practicing engineers and scientists, Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines
is an authoritative text that offers a guide to the fundamental
principles, design and analysis of wind turbines.
