The winglet is a device used to reduce wingtip vortices and in turn lower the drag coefficient of a wing. In this case, the wing is a wind turbine blade and the same aerodynamic rules apply. A wind turbine blade is fitted with winglets of different geometry properties namely the cant angle. Cant angles of increasing values are used to generate desired three-dimensional models that have different cant angles. The models are then exported to the computational solver. In the solver the desired boundary conditions are used to set up the simulation. The solver, ANSYS Fluent, then uses this models along with the boundary conditions to compute the desired output. The results can be seen in graphs from the program. The results are then compared with results obtained from previous studies to show that the trend is the same where larger cant angles generally reduce the drag coefficient. 2024-10-07T04:14:11Z 2024-10-07T04:14:11Z 2015 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/33718 en application/pdf
