Problem Specification

This tutorial shows you how to simulate the flow around a given “standard” wind turbine rotor using Ansys Fluent.  The rotor geometry is shown in the figure below. The hub is neglected for simplicity since it doesn't contribute to the power generated by the rotor. Only one blade is considered in the simulation set-up by using periodic boundary conditions. The simulation yields the velocity and pressure fields around the blade and the power generated.
