Airfoil Analysis for Wind Turbines by k.barrou is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The paper presents a numerical analysis of various airfoils for small horizontal axis wind turbine rotor blades using QBlade software, focusing on low Reynolds numbers. It compares the aerodynamic performance of four airfoils (DU86-084, E387, SD2030, SG6041) and concludes that the E387 airfoil exhibits the best performance for small wind turbines. The study emphasizes the efficiency of QBlade in designing and simulating airfoil characteristics for optimal turbine performance.
