Title

Icing Effect On The Aerodynamics Of Wind Turbines; A Numerical Study Using Large-Eddy Simulation

Abstract

The influence of icing effect on the aerodynamics of wind turbine is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES). The simulations are performed for a Reynolds number, Re = 1.3 × 106, based on the chord, c, of the airfoil (NACA0012). Computations are carried out to investigate the influence of the icing effect on the aerodynamic coefficients. The study reveals that the icing effect influences the aerodynamic coefficients in a specific manner. Larger amplitudes of aerodynamic coefficients were observed for the case of an iced leading edge when compared with the clean NACA0012 case. © 2010 by Marcel Ilie.
