A New Method of Sectional Expression of Wind Turbine Airfoil Function

To expand the airfoil database and realize the reverse digital airfoil design, this paper proposes a new sectional expression function of wind turbine airfoil based on the Joukowski transformation and derives the function equation for the novel airfoil. Compared with the existing airfoil function, t...
