![]() QBlade may be used for educational purposes or research. It is seamlessly integrated into XFOIL (airfoil design and analysis tool) in order to design custom airfoils, extrapolate the polar data, integrate them into a wind turbine rotor-simulation. Because the flow conditions of a turbine blade experiences are different to those of a plane, flight aerodynamics cannot be applied to the wind turbine design.īased on the Blade Element Momentum Method or BEM, QBlade is an application aimed for the design and aerodynamic computation of wind turbine blades. The origins of the blade design come from the aircraft industry. In order to effectively convert wind energy into mechanical energy via the use of wind turbines, an optimal design for rotor blades is required. Current studies span across solar, wind, wave, biomass and thermal energy. With gas and oil resources diminishing each passing day, coming up with a solution for solving the world's energy crisis is one of the great topics of our time.
