Abstract

A numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of airfoil on the optimum flap. height using NACA 0006, 0009, 0012, 0015, 0018, 0021 and 0024 airfoils. The six flaps which have 0.5% chord height difference were used. A Navier-Stokes code, FLUENT, was used to calculate the flow field of the airfoil. The code was first tested as a benchmark by modelling flow around a NACA 4412 airfoil. Predictions of local pressure coefficients are found to be in good agreement with the result of the experimental result. For every NACA 00XX airfoil, flap heights ranging from 0.0% to 2.5% chord were changed by 0.5% chord interval and their effects were also studied. Representative results from each case are presented graphically and discussed. It is concluded that this initial approach gives a promise for the future development of wind turbine optimum design.
