Dynamic stall induced by flow separation during the rotation of wind turbine blades can make the aerodynamic forces deteriorate drastically. In order to improve the dynamic stall characteristics of the airfoil
an aerodynamic optimization framework of the airfoil based on a surrogate model is established. The S809 airfoil is taken as the research object. First
the airfoil is parametrically characterized
and the input vectors of the model training samples are obtained by Latin hypercube sampling
and the corresponding response values are solved by CFD method. Secondly
the surrogate model of aerodynamic shape and aerodynamic force of the airfoil is constructed by Gaussian process regression
and the model accuracy is improved by the infill point criterion. Finally
with the objective of reducing the aerodynamic fluctuations
the aerodynamic forces of one pitch cycle are optimized and designed by combining the global optimization algorithm. The results show that compared with the baseline airfoil
the change of aerodynamic shape of the optimized airfoil significantly reduces the drag and moment fluctuations
and effectively suppresses the dynamic stall in the airfoil leading edge during the pitch-down phase.
