Influence of rotor blade flexibility on the near-wake behavior of the NREL 5 MW wind turbine

Abstract MW wind turbine rotor are performed, comparing the aerodynamic behavior of flexible and rigid blades with respect to local blade quantities as well as the wake properties. The main focus has been set on rotational periodic quantities of blade loading and fluid velocity magnitudes in relation with the blade tip vortex trajectories describing the development of those quantities in the near wake. The results show that the turbine loading in a quasi-steady flow field is mainly influenced by blade deflections due to gravitation. Deforming blades change the aerodynamic behavior, which in turn influences the surrounding flow field, leading to non-uniform wake characteristics with respect to speed and shape.
