Abstract :
Airfoil is a cross section of a body such as a wing that creates lift as it moves through a fluid. Although the airfoil is a very simple geometry which can be presented by polygonal lines, the shape is key factor for good performance of the turbines, making it essential to optimise the airfoil for a maximum lift with a minimum drag. This paper discusses the use of morphing technique for a rapid airfoil generation with a Cartesian grid method for a quick mesh generation from the models yielded by the morphing technique for a performance analysis of CFD (Computational Fluid dynamics).
