QBlade
DESCRIPTION
NEW QBlade v0.96.3
v0.96.3 includes a hotfix for a problem leading to crashes during polar extrapolation!
Guidelines will be updated soon, until then use the Guidelines v0.95 document: https://goo.gl/htvb34
QBlade is a Blade Element Momentum Method (BEM), Double Multiple Streamtube (DMS) and nonlinear Lifting Line Theory (LLT) Design and Simulation Software for Vertical- and Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines. It also includes tools to setup and simulate the internal blade structure and perform an aeroelastic analysis of a wind turbine rotor in turbulent inflow conditions through a coupling with FAST from NREL
