Summary
In this paper, a two dimensional transient fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis of
wind turbine blade profiles is presented. This two dimensional model includes the
profile of the rotor blade and the tower cross-section at specific height levels of the
turbine. The blade profile is moving in time with varying pitch angle. Within the FSI
approach, the fluid flow is computed using the finite volume method, and the
structure field is solved by employing the finite element method. Numerical
examples show the influence of the blade-tower interaction and the influence of
different pitch angles on lift and drag coefficients of the blade.
