Abstract: Wind power is now the world's fastest growing energy source. It is well known that energy production depends on the shape of the thruster (sail of yacht or a blade) and on the wind characteristics on a given site. The objective of this study is to maximize the performances of a thruster by optimizing the most important aerodynamic design parameters.
