3-Bladed Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) Rotor & Aerodynamic CFD

Engineered a 3-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine rotor optimized for low-to-medium wind speed power generation. Lofted parametric blade geometries incorporating specialized NACA airfoil sections with optimized non-linear twist and chord distributions. Conducted rotational Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies to extract lift and drag coefficients, calculate rotor torque, and evaluate blade-tip vortex structures at rated operating RPM. Structured the blade root mounting and central hub interface for structural rigidity and straightforward mold manufacturing or additive fabrication.
