Numerical Simulation of Tower Rotor Interaction for Downwind Wind Turbine

Figure 6

(a) Lift-to-drag ratio for different rotor airfoils. (b) Vorticity contours at different stages of the rotor cycle. The rotor speed is quadruple the speed of the incoming wind. (c) Vorticity contours during the passage of rotor.
