The computation time ratio is calculated with respect to the linear (1 sub-body) case using the dense solver, and number of iterations ratio is calculated with respect to the 30 sub-bodies blade case, which has the lowest number 15 of iterations for both turbine models. Figure 3 shows the power, pitch and blade effective radius change results of linear (1 body) and nonlinear (30 body) blade models for steady wind load cases. Figure 7 shows flapwise, edgewise and torsion moment DEL ratio variations by model fidelity (number of sub-bodies in blade model) at blade stations where the maximum deviations between linear and non-linear cases occur for each load component. Normalized tower top torsion, side-side and fore-aft DEL moment with respect to number of sub-bodies in blade model Figure 13 shows the normalized blade pitch actuator DEL, total pitch angle change of the turbines in all simulations com-puted by equation (7), and maximum power at pitch actuator computed via the equation (8).

I'm going to take you through the basic aerodynamic calculations that you will need to understand how a wind turbine transforms the kinetic energy in wind to mechanical energy of the rotating shaft.
Topics covered include:
- Classical 2D aerodynamics
- How is a wind turbine's aerodynamics different to an aeroplane's?
- Wind turbine blade velocity triangle
- Inflow and induction factors
- Equations to find the relative velocity along the blade span
- Resolving lift and drag forces to torque and thrust
- How to calculate the power of a wind turbine
- Blade Element Momentum theory (BEM)
- Limitations of BEM
Check out part one of my "How Does a Wind Turbine Work?" series:

# Wind-turbine aerodynamics. The primary application of wind turbines is to generate energy using the wind. Hence, the aerodynamics is a very important aspect of wind turbines. Like most machines, wind turbines come in many different types, all of them based on different energy extraction concepts. Every topology has a maximum power for a given flow, and some topologies are better than others. In general, all turbines may be classified as either lift "Lift (force)")-based or drag "Drag (physics)")-based, the former being more efficient. The difference between these groups is the aerodynamic force that is used to extract the energy. It is a lift-based wind turbine with very good performance. where *P* is the power, *F* is the force vector, and *u* is the velocity of the moving wind turbine part. The relative wind aspect dramatically limits the maximum power that can be extracted by a drag-based wind turbine. {\displaystyle \rho }* is the air density, *A* is the area of the wind turbine, and *V* is the wind speed.
