Abstract
In this paper, the effect of two different turbine blade designs on the wake characteristics was investigated using large-eddy simulation with an actuator line model. For the two different designs, the total axial load is nearly the same but the spanwise (radial) distributions are different. The one with higher load near the blade tip is denoted as Design A; the other is Design B. From the computed results, we observed that the velocity deficit from Design B is higher than that from Design A. The intensity of turbulence kinetic energy in the far wake is also higher for Design B. The effect of blade load distribution on the wind turbine axial and tangential induction factors was also investigated.
