Abstract
An aerodynamic optimal design method for wind-lens turbine using the Genetic Algorithm has been developed.In the present method,the aerodynamic design for the wind-lens turbine rotor is based on an axisymmetnc viscous flow analysis and a two-dimensional blade element design.The present optimal design method is able to search for the optimal wind-lens and rotor blade shape simultaneously.This coupled design method of turbine rotor and wind-lens has achieved to generate high performance wind-lens turbines.Three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) simulation shows that the new wind-lens turbine designed by the genetic algorithm design method is superior to conventional one in the total performance.
