Im interested to simulate atmospheric boundary layer by using OpenFOAM.
1. is there any people has been started to work within this area ? would you be so kind to share some idea how to start ? 2. anyway, im also looking for any 3d wind blade model (CAD file). it could be a generic or a commercial wind blade model, for example from Vestas blade design. hope some people can help me. have a nice weekend Nugie |

Hi Nugie,
Its a very interesting topic. 1. The right place for you to start would be trying to model boundary layer in a channel flow case and then gradually moving towards wind turbines (and terrain... if you wish to). 2. Its not too difficult to model a wind turbine blade. Look for airfoil tables in papers for any airfoil. It will have chord and twist distribution and depending on that you can model the blade. Good luck. -- Dnyanesh |
