Abstract
This research presents the results of the UWA profile simulation, which is compared to profiles E387 and UMY02-T01-26 that maximizes the lift-to-drag coefficient ratio. The obtained results of the lift/drag ratio of the aerodynamic profile uniformly increase under different leading angles when compared to profiles E387 and UMY02-T01-26 in 30% ~ 40% for Re = 2 x 105. After comparison, it was determined that the profile created is adequate for wind turbines at low Reynolds numbers due to their better lift-to-drag ratio.
