  5. QBlade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBlade

    The purpose of this software is the design and aerodynamic simulation of wind turbine blades. The integration in XFOIL allows for the user to rapidly design custom airfoils and compute their performance curves, Extrapolating the performance data to a range of 360° Angle of attack , and directly integrate them into a wind turbine rotor simulation.

  6. Standard wind tunnel models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_wind_tunnel_models

    Results of wind tunnel tests of these models are generally published in the form of nondimensional aerodynamic coefficients (thus being made independent of model size) and made available to the wind-tunnel community, often in review reports containing inter-facility comparisons of data, [5] [8] [9] [10] discussing observed scatter of results ...

  7. Building performance simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_performance...

    Building performance simulation has various sub-domains; most prominent are thermal simulation, lighting simulation, acoustical simulation and air flow simulation. Most building performance simulation is based on the use of bespoke simulation software. Building performance simulation itself is a field within the wider realm of scientific computing.
