This handbook provides both a comprehensive overview and deep insights on the state-of-the-art methods used in wind turbine aerodynamics, as well as their advantages and limits. The focus of this work is specifically on wind turbines, where the aerodynamics are different from that of other fields due to the turbulent wind fields they face and the resultant differences in structural requirements. It gives a complete picture of research in the field, taking into account the different approaches which are applied. This book would be useful to professionals, academics, researchers and students working in the field.

This volume contains the description of an EC-sponsered program to study all relevant aspects of shock/ boundary-layer interaction control, the latter designed to improve aircraft performance at design (cruise) and off-design conditions. The work being presented includes a discussion of basic control experiments and the corresponding physical modeling, to account for shock control and a discussion of the airfoil experiments conducted for code validation and control assessment, in conjunction with the basic experiments and computations. The contents is comprised of a section giving a broad overview of the research carried out here and more detailed individual contributions by the participants in the research. Der Band enthält den Abschlußbericht eines von EU geförderten Projekts EUROSHOCK, das alle relevanten Aspekte der Kontrolle von Stoßfronten und Grenzschichten (wichtig z.B. für die Verbesserung der Flugeigenschaften von Fluzeugen) untersuchte. Neben einer ausführlichen Diskussion der grundlegenden Kontrollexperimente und der zugrundeliegenden Modellierung werden auch die Versuche an Tragflächen beschrieben, die zur Validierung von Modellrechnungen durchgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus enthält der Band auch die detaillierten Ergebnisse der Teilnehmer an dem Forschungsprogramm.
