Software and Design tools

Qblade (TU, Berlin) Released under GPL. This software provides an open solution for the design and aerodynamical computation of wind turbine blades. QBlade also includes post processing of conducted rotor simulations and gives deep insight into all relevant blade and ro tor variables for verification, to compare different rotor configurations, or even to study the numerical algorithm (Blade Element Momentum Theory) and the dependency’s among the aerodynamic variables themselves. It integrates with XFOIL, also released under GPL. For more details see for example papers and research

XFOIL (MIT, Boston) Released under GPL. Used for design and analysis of subsonic isolated airfoils. Stuff you can do: Viscous (or inviscid) analysis of an existing airfoil, allowing forced or free transition, transitional separation bubbles, limited trailing edge separation, lift and drag predictions just beyond CLmax, Karman-Tsien compressibility correction, fixed or varying Reynolds and/or Mach numbers. for more see tutorials here, or here

FOCUS 6 (WMC Knowledge Center, Wieringerwerf, the Netherlands). Unknown license, but the development was partly paid by European and Dutch tax payers. FOCUS 6 is an integrated modular tool to design wind turbines and wind turbine components like rotor blades. For more than a decade, FOCUS has been used by the international wind turbine industry. more details in this presentation

NREL Simulation tools (NREL, USA), includes lots of tools for turbine design and simulation like AeroDyn, BladeFS, FAST, TurbSim, etc.

MBDyn (Politecnico de Milano, Italy) Released under GPL. MBDyn is the first and possibly the only free* general-purpose MultiBody Dynamics analysis software. MBDyn features the integrated multidisciplinary analysis of multibody, multiphysics systems, including nonlinear mechanics of rigid and flexible constrained bodies, smart materials, electric networks, active control, hydraulic networks, essential fixed-wing and rotorcraft aerodynamics. Integrates with Blender and NREL's AeroDyn. For wind turbine integration see this presentation
