    Defining Drag & Lift Forces

    Uploaded by

    Saravanapriya Karthik
    This document discusses the key aerodynamic forces of drag and lift that act on wind turbine blades and how blade design can optimize these forces. It covers topics such as setting the optimal blade angle to maximize lift and minimize drag, how the apparent wind shape affects blade forces, optimizing the chord width, factors that impact the power coefficient, ideal but impractical blade shapes, and tradeoffs of high speed rotors.
