The objective of this study is to investigate aerodynamic characteristics of a Horizontal-axis wind turbines(HAWT), using CFD method with a commercial code STAR-CCM+ version 3.06. To verify the reliability of the computations, the CFD results are compared with the experimental ones of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) Phase Ⅵ HAWT. For the comparison and examination of aerodynamic characteristics, the existent shape with a predesigned twist angle was replaced by the one with one-dimensional linear twist angle. In this study, the pressure contour and stream line around the blade were analyzed as main focus. Through this study the more efficient shape of airfoil is suggested with consideration of manufacturing cost.

Propeller shall have high efficiency and improved aerodynamic characteristics to get the thrust to fly at high speed for the turboprop aircraft. That is way Clark-Y airfoil which is used to conventional 1600kW class aircraft propeller is selected as a blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the propeller design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point of turboprop aircraft. The propeller design results indicate that is evaluated to be properly constructed, through analysis of propeller aerodynamic characteristics using the Meshless method and MRF, SM method.
