Abstract

The work presented here demonstrates the simulation of flow through a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) using the NREL FAST solver. Computation of flow past the NREL phase VI experimental horizontal axis wind turbine is performed. The computations are made on the basic model with \(0^\circ \) yaw angle and \(3^\circ \) pitch angle at the tip. The turbine rotates at 7.54 rad/s for wind speed ranging from 5–25 m/s. This turbine has been extensively used for testing purposes. We compute the flow through the HAWT blades using the solver and compared the solution with both the experimental and computation fluid dynamics (CFD) results available in the literature. We are able to obtain the results with very good accuracy, and compared to CFD, the solution was achieved with significantly less computational effort.
