Abstract

Based on the wind turbine's complex wake vortex system and combining with the wind machine's aerodynamic performances, a hybrid method to design the wind turbine rotor, which discards the constant circulation along the wind rotor blade axis and embraces the airfoil's lift-drag characteristics, is presented. And the validity of the method is also proven by designing and computing a wind rotor.
