This book is an introduction to wind turbine aerodynamics for professionals and students with a diverse range of backgrounds. It is a self-contained textbook that shows how to progress from the basics of fluid mechanics to modern wind turbine blade design. It presents the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and inflow conditions, as well as extensive information on theories describing the aerodynamics of wind turbines. After examining a number of related experiments, the book applies the lessons learned to blade design.


The text of this 3rd edition has been thoroughly revised, and the book includes a new section on aerodynamic design and optimization.

Alois Schaffarczyk received his Ph.D. in Statistical Physics from the University of Göttigen, Germany. Prior to this, he spent six years in the industry, solving practical problems in fluid mechanics. He joined the UAS Kiel in 1992 and began his career in the wind turbine community in 1997, specializing in CFD, experiments, and blade design. Professor Schaffarczyk has lectured on the subject in, e.g., China, Morocco, and Norway. He has participated in a number of prestigious IEAwind annexes and held the function of sub-task manager at MexNext.

Introduction.- Types of Wind Turbines.- Basic Fluid Dynamics.- Inflow Conditions for Wind Turbines.- Momentum Theories.- Application of Vortex Theories.- Application of Computational Fluid Mechanics.- Experiments.- Impact of Aerodynamics on Blade Design.- Concluding Remarks on Further Developments.
