Abstract The focus of this research was on the equivalent particle roughness height correction required to account for the presence of ice when determining the performances of wind turbines. In particular, two icing processes (frost ice and clear ice) were examined by combining the FENSAP-ICE and FLUENT analysis tools. The ice type on the blade surfaces was predicted by using a multi-time step method. Accordingly, the influence of variations in icing shape and ice surface roughness on the aerodynamic performance of blades during frost ice formation or clear ice formation was investigated. The results indicate that More >
