What Will I Learn?

• Simulate the NREL Phase VI wind turbine case
• Student will be able to simulate any type of wind turbine after attending this course
• You will acquire skills in creating CAD model of horizontal axis wind turbine
• You should be able to get accurate results for NREL Phase VI using skills taught in this course and also any other wind turbine

Requirements

• Good understanding of using ANSYS (ICEMCFD, Spaceclaim, Fluent) and solidworks software. Although we will start from scratch but some basic working knowledge will be highly helpful.
• Computer with at least 32 GB RAM and i7 processor with good graphics card.
• LED monitor with size of 23 inch or more preferably 29 inch to properly visualize the results.
• Basic knowledge of wind turbine theory
• Basic knowledge of CFD and application on some simple CFD problems such as Airfoil or flat plate CFD
• ANSYS CFD professional package (Fluent, ICEMCFD, Spaceclaim) must be installed. Please keep in mind, student version does not have ICEMCFD and it does not allow over 512K cells.
• SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP4 must be installed before using this course.

Target audience

• Researdchers or professionals who are working on wind turbines and specially horizontal axis wind turbine
• BE, MS and Phd students who are starting their research in wind turbine field
• Any body who is interested in CFD of wind turbine
