Abstract
This article uses Fluent’s Computational Fluid Dynamics software to simulate the comparison of lift and drag coefficient between airfoil with microtab and airfoil prototype. Two commonly used airfoil of wind turbine blade, S809 and Naca63-415, are analyzed in this study；the variables of microtab are location and length, which respectively are simulated under three different conditions. In addition, the changes of two different Reynolds numbers also are analyzed in the simulation. After simulating the lift and drag coefficient under each condition, the formula of airfoil maximum acquired power is then applied to compare the effect on the power variation of airfoil prototype with microtab. Moreover, comparison between the efficiency of increased power is implemented to further understand under which condition microtab can effectively increase power.
