Abstract

The vortex plate method will determine the velocity at each point of the current without the need for the grid on flow geometry and speed determination in all fluid fields. due to the importance of blade aerodynamic the turbine performance coefficient, for modeling of the airfoil, the Bezier equations are used. the flow around blade - axis wind turbine blade issimulated in two dimensions by computational fluid dynamics such as airfoil and mesh and is used for resolution of fluent, based on finite volume method. also in order toinvestigate the potentials of vortex pages, theresults of the writing code are compared with fluent Fortran and Q - blade which can be simulated using a fuzzy model and correct algorithm. the results obtained from vortex shedding methods show that we have acceptable accuracy compared to the experimental values and leads to vortex plates in low Reynolds number, lift and drag coefficients are more accurate than fluent and Q - Blade software.
