Wind turbine blade is one of the key components of wind turbine, and its aerodynamic performance largely determine the reliability of wind turbine. This paper use the momentum - blade element theory, and correction by Prandtl, Wilson correction, Glauert correction and other methods to modify the model of the blade to come to the aerodynamic model, then using the point of the coordinate transformation theory each the airfoil two dimensional coordinate will conversion into space coordinates, using UG of three-dimensional modeling software to model, and finally the aerodynamic performance of airfoil is analyzed. Through modeling and aerodynamic analysis, for the following structure optimization and control strategy laid a foundation.

Considering the characteristics of narrow underground space and energy distribution, based on blade element momentum theory, Wilson optimization model and MATLAB programming calculation results, the torsion angle and chord length of wind turbine blade under the optimized conditions were obtained. Through coordinate transformation, the data were transformed into three-dimensional form. The three-dimensional model of the blade was constructed, and the horizontal axis wind turbine blade under the underground low wind speed environment was designed. The static structural analysis and modal analysis were carried out. Structural design, optimization calculation and aerodynamic analysis were carried out for three kinds of air ducts: external convex, internal concave and linear. The results show that the velocity distribution in the throat of linear air duct is relatively uniform and the growth rate is large, so it should be preferred. When the tunnel wind speed is 4.3 m/s and the rated speed is 224 rad/s, the maximum displacement of the blade is in the blade tip area and the maximum stress is at the blade root, which is not easy to resonate. The change rate of displacement, stress and strain of blade is positively correlated with speed. The energy of blade vibration is mainly concentrated in the swing vibration of the first and second modes. With the increase in vibration mode order, the amplitude and shape of the blade gradually transition to the coupling vibration of swing, swing and torsion. The stress and strain of the blade are lower than the allowable stress and strain of glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), and resonance is not easy to occur in the first two steps. The blade is generally safe and meets the design requirements.

A 1.5 MW horizontal-axis wind turbine blade and fluid field model are established to study the difference in the unsteady flow field and structural vibration of the wind turbine blade under one- and two-way fluid-structure interactions. The governing equations in fluid field and the motion equations in structural were developed, and the corresponding equations were discretized with the Galerkin method. Based on ANSYS CFX fluid dynamics and mechanical structural dynamics calculation software, the effects of couplings on the aerodynamic and vibration characteristics of the blade are compared and analyzed in detail. Results show that pressure distributions at different sections of the blade are concentrated near the leading edge, and the leeward side of two-way coupling is slightly higher than that of one-way coupling. Deformation along the blade span shows a nonlinear change under the coupling effect. The degree of amplitude attenuation in two-way coupling is significantly greater than that in one-way coupling because of the existence of aerodynamic damping. However, the final amplitude is still higher than the one-way coupling. The Mises stress fluctuation in the windward and leeward sides is more obvious than one-way coupling, and the discrepancy must not be ignored.
