Hi... I am looking for a CAD data or a blade profile for "Nordtank 500/41 Wind Turbine at Risų National Laboratories." I would like to validate me CFD methodology where windturbine rotates through fluid-body interaction effects.

Other than "130.226.17.201/extra/web_docs/nordtank/WT_description.pdf", can anyone suggest/provide me the geometric information for this turbine?

Any other wind turbine with its geometric, inertial properties and experimental data is also most welcomed.

Thanks.

Hi naimish,
I remember somewhere reading that the full information about it's geometry was never released, becoz it's a commercial turbine. you should contact the people who have already worked on it through email they may be able to help you out in a better way.

Hi Naimish,
You may be already knowing this but https://wind.nrel.gov/forum/wind/
is a much better place for the discussions like this. This topic has been already discussed at lengths in the forum and people there might be able to help you out in a much better way.

I tried, but no one is replying. Frustrated.

HI Naimish..I think patience is still virtue...isn't it?
I personally think because that website is not as popular as this forum, you must wait more...

i hope you will get good news very soon

hi Naimish,
What you can do is mail the people at NREL who have worked on it.
I persistently bugged (almost) them for 1 year before they gave me the experimental data for NREL Phase VI experiments.
