Abstract

The influence of yaw misalignment on the aerodynamic performance of the New MEXICO rotor is investigated using blade-resolved Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches with three wind speeds considered at a fixed yaw angle of 30 degrees. The air-load predictions and near wake characteristics from the numerical results are compared and discussed against the most recent wind tunnel test data. The nacelle impact, dynamic stall phenomenon and wake characteristics are analyzed, demonstrating the yaw effects and numerical issues raised from Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) and Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) computations.
