Abstract
This chapter presents various aspects of wind turbine aerodynamics. Wind turbine aerodynamics is the most central discipline for design and construction of wind turbine blades. Basics of the blade element momentum theory are presented along with guidelines for the construction of airfoil data. It provides a review of advanced numerical simulation (computational fluid dynamics) tools for wind turbine rotors and wakes. This includes rotor predictions as well as models for simulating wind turbine wakes and flows in wind farms. Finally, future trends concerning wind turbine aerodynamics are discussed.
