Abstract

A new actuator surface model was proposed to study the wake characteristic of wind turbines. The real blade was simplified by plane surface with zero thickness and pressure on the surface was determined with BEM theory based on 2D aerodynamic parameters of airfoils. The flow field was got by solving N-S equation. Aerodynamic performances of NERL phase VI wind turbine were calculated with the new actuator surface model and the results were compared with experimental values. Then the model was suited to the study of wake field of wind turbines.
