In this study, the NREL Phase VI turbine has been investigated using a computer code developed in C and ncoupled to Ansys Fluent. First the general theory has been explained and then the structure of the code has been presented. An ALM algorithm, coupled with a Blade Element Momentum (BEM) routine for the initialization of the loads, has been validated and proposed as an alternative to a full CFD analysis.

Abstract

In this study, the NREL Phase VI turbine has been investigated using a computer code developed in C and ncoupled to Ansys Fluent. First the general theory has been explained and then the structure of the code has been presented. An ALM algorithm, coupled with a Blade Element Momentum (BEM) routine for the initialization of the loads, has been validated and proposed as an alternative to a full CFD analysis.
