Abstract

Results from a numerical and experimental aeroacoustic assessment of 2D wind turbine blade sections are presented. CFD/CAA-based predictions using a synthetic turbulence method were conducted at a NACA 64-618 profile as well as at a new low-noise airfoil design RoH-W-18%c37. Validation experiments were performed in DLR’s Acoustic Wind-Tunnel Braunschweig (AWB) for varying transition locations. A trailing-edge noise reduction benefit of 2–4 dB in overall sound pressure level was predicted for the new airfoil under design conditions. A large laminar extent of the boundary layer significantly reduces the noise emission (by up to 8 dB) compared to equivalent cases with forced transition at the leading edge. An additional noise reduction (with realistic reductions of the peak levels by 4–6 dB) was accomplished by flow-permeable trailing-edge extensions which were successfully transferred to the two profiles from forerunner aerospace-related studies.

Fußnoten
1
The German acronym BELARWEA (“Blattspitzen für Effiziente und LärmArme Rotoren von WindEnergieAnlagen”) stands for “blade tips for efficient and low-noise wind turbine rotors”.
 
2
DNW: German-Dutch Wind-Tunnels (Deutsch-Niederländische Windkanäle); NWB: Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Braunschweig (Niedergeschwindigkeits-Windkanal Braunschweig).
 
3
An exact number cannot be provided here because the NREL 5-MW model rotor is defined in terms of blade elements, i.e. areas of intermediate profiles are not explicitly indicated.
 
4
Note that the (offshore) NREL 5-MW model rotor is not representative for typical onshore wind turbines. In a classical 2D experiment these selected conditions are realizable in DNW-NWB.
