Performance of wind turbine depends on how the surrounding conditions are taken into account at the point of design. Design parameters are required to be investigated and established in a feasible manner in order to make sure that the design is reliable and at the same time cost-effective. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method seems the most practical approach in order to recognise an appropriate design.During the course of this project CFD methods are employed for the aerodynamic simulations of wind turbine aerofoil with respect to different (turbulence) flow conditions similar to what occurs in urban and rural environments. The finding of this project would contribute not only to the cutting-edge design technology of wind turbine but also can be used for aerospace, Micro Air Vehicle (MAV), tidal turbine and gas turbine applications.This project is entirely computational and involves the use of commercial CFD packages (ICEM and Fluent) and MATLAB programming.

风力涡轮机的性能取决于设计时如何考虑周围条件。需要以可行的方式研究和确定设计参数，以确保设计可靠，同时具有成本效益。计算流体动力学 (CFD) 方法似乎是识别适当设计的最实用方法。在该项目过程中，CFD 方法用于针对类似于城市和乡村环境中发生的不同（湍流）流动条件的风力涡轮机翼型进行空气动力学模拟。该项目的发现不仅有助于风力涡轮机的尖端设计技术，而且还可用于航空航天、微型飞行器（MAV）、潮汐涡轮机和燃气轮机应用。该项目完全是计算性的，涉及使用商业CFD软件包（ICEM和Fluent）和MATLAB编程。
