Mathematical modeling will in the first step be made for an isolated blade. Thereafter some experimental model testings will be made to confirm the theory. The next step is to develop tools for multi-blade analysis.
The aim is to obtain a design tool for the Kobold turbine, where it is possible to estimate different design conditions without having to do expensive model testing. This will furthermore be very helpful for future projects where the turbine can be easily optimized for specific site conditions.
