S830, S831, and S832 Airfoils: November 2001-November 2002

S830, S831, and S832 Airfoils: November 2001-November 2002

National Wind Technology Center

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

A family of quiet, thick, natural-laminar-flow airfoils, the S830, S831, and S832, for 40 - 50-meter-diameter, variable-speed/variable-pitch, horizontal-axis wind turbines has been designed and analyzed theoretically. The two primary objectives of high maximum lift, relatively insensitive to roughness, and low profile drag have been achieved. The airfoils should exhibit docile stalls, which meetthe design goal. The constraints on the pitching moment and the airfoils thicknesses have been satisfied.
