Assessment of Aerodynamics Models for Wind Turbines Aeroelasticity
A comprehensive computational tool for the aeroelastic analysis of horizontal axis
wind turbines (HAWT) is presented. The proposed aeroelastic tool couples a nonlinear
beam model for blades structural dynamics with an unsteady state-space sectional
aerodynamic model taking into account dynamic stall. Three-dimensional wake inflow
effects are described by a Boundary Element Method for the solution of incompressible,
potential, attached flows. To this aim, different coupling approaches are compared. The
resulting aeroelastic differential system is integrated through the Galerkin method, with
the introduction of a novel technique for the spatial integration of the additional
aerodynamic states related to wake vorticity and dynamic stall. Periodic blade
responses are determined by a harmonic balance approach. The effectiveness of the
proposed unsteady aerodynamic modelling is discussed, with numerical and
experimental comparisons
