Abstract: One of attracting concepts has been the use of Turbosail principle to produce lift from aspirated cylinders with flap in various engineering applications. The Emerging of the Turbosail principle in wind turbine technology is promising to develop and to design innovative devices. The objective of this project paper is to develop an efficient numerical code, for the prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics of Turbosail type wind turbine with very thick aspirated profiles. A vortex model has been treated based on the lifting line theory. The results predicted by the code developed, have been compared and validated by some numerical and experimental data.
