Design and Optimisation of a Low Reynolds Number Airfoil for Small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) are scaled down to incorporate rotor blades that usually have a diameter ranging from two to four meters in length. A common misconception with regard to selection of airfoils followed by subsequent designing of rotor blades involves the use of NACA airfoils and...
