Wind turbine perfomance analysis and optimization

This work aims to provide a code to be used to reproduce full-scale operating condition of horizontal axes wind turbine model. This instrument gives the possibility of analyzing and optimizing wind turbine performance in atmospheric boundary layer providing the possibility of modelling air flow over different classified and complex terrains. The code is written in C++ as the main frame work, so it can be used in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, OpenFOAM, in the direction of providing a numerical tool to predict the aerodynamic performances of horizontal-axes wind turbine in different atmospheric boundary layer.
