Abstrac~The design and selection procedure of airfoil sections for small wind turbine blades is discussed and implemented in this paper. It is found that for blades up to 5 m long, two different airfoils mixed at the outer third of the span will be sufficient and have demonstrated good strength and

There exist significant differences in airfoil Berodynamic characteristics between wind tmmel test data (2Dimensional flow) and tield test data (3-D dimensional flow). Thmugh the Combined Experiment Program (CEP), efforts have been made to investigate proper approaches to analyze such differences so
The present work addresses the evaluation of the shear flow as an extension of the Jourawski's formula. This idea is developed here for the case of a multi-celled composite thin-walled section. Firstly, the explicit formulation of the shear flow due to shear forces and torsion is derived, noting the
In this paper, two stochastic models for the distribution of defects in wind turbine blades are proposed. The first model assumes that the individual defects are completely randomly distributed in the blade. The second model assumes that the defects occur in clusters of different size, based on the
