Short summary

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver is coupled with a structure solver to predict the dynamic response of a horizontal axis wind turbine structure. CFD provides much more accurate and more realistic aerodynamic loads that cannot be achieved by traditional methods such as blade element momentum theory. As a result, the aeroelastic response of the wind turbine structure, taking into account blade–tower interactions, is described in more detail.
