It is not necessary to have strong background in wind power technology to follow this tutorial since it is mostly a tutorial about 's main function is to demonstrate how to perform an FSI simulation in ANSYS. However, having a basic understanding of wind turbine blade design and aerodynamics is suggested. It would be a good idea to know why blades are twisted for example. The following video starts with a brief statement on how blades are oriented but it might be difficult to understand if you have never been exposed to this material. I found two good brief introductions on wind turbine blade design and I strongly suggest you spend a few minutes learning the basics of this fascinating topic.
