Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is a comprehensive guide to the aerodynamics, scaled design, and analysis, and optimization of horizontal-axis wind turbines. Authored by a renowned expert in the field, the book delves into the fundamentals and basic physics of wind turbines operating in the atmospheric boundary layer. It then explores more complex models to aid in the aerodynamic analysis and design of turbine models.

Unique chapters on blade element momentum theory, airfoil aerodynamics, rotational augmentation, vortex-wake methods, actuator-line modeling, and designing aerodynamically scaled turbines for model-scale experiments are included in the text. The author effectively showcases how effective analysis and design principles can be applied across a wide range of applications and operating conditions.

The book integrates the user-friendly XTurb design and analysis software, available on a companion website, to facilitate individual analyses and future studies. This software enhancement enhances the learning experience and contributes to a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is an essential resource for professionals, researchers, and students in the wind energy industry. It provides a thorough understanding of the key aspects of wind turbine design and performance, enabling readers to develop more efficient and effective wind turbines for a sustainable future.
