Blade Tip

The purpose of this research is to investigate the physical mechanisms associated with broadband tip vortex noise caused by rotating wind turbines. The flow and acoustic field around a wind turbine blade is simulated using compressible large-eddy simulation and direct noise simulation, with emphasis on the blade tip region. The far field aerodynamic noise is modeled using acoustic analogy. Aerodynamic performance and acoustic emissions are predicted for the actual tip shape and an ogee type tip shape. For the ogee type tip shape the sound pressure level decreases by 5 dB for frequencies above 4 kHz.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Pitch angle is one of the most important parameters of wind turbine blade. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of the pitch angle on the deformation of a VAWT. Lagrangian mechanics and Euler’s beam theory are used to derive the motion equations of linear structural vibration for straight blade vertical axis wind turbine blade with the pitch angle [Formula: see text]. The complete equations of motion take account of the 4-DOF deformation of flexural–flexural–torsion–extension as well as the material damping. Vibration analysis of generalized displacement about the equilibrium state (GDAES) is carried out with respect to the displacement of the equilibrium state (DOES), which is separated from the motion of vibration. After simplifying the equilibrium equation of 4-DOF into 1-DOF system, the exact solution of displacement [Formula: see text] of the equilibrium state is derived. The correction [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] due to the pitch angle and the characteristics of [Formula: see text] with constant linear speed are analyzed. Furthermore, we investigate the coupling effect of lateral bending and axial extension of the blade on [Formula: see text] is analyzed. Finally, the exact solution of [Formula: see text] is verified by the central difference method.
