Using Viterna Method in AirfoilPrep

Dear Zeeshan,

Yes, we would normally apply the 3D (rotational augmentation) corrections before the Viterna extrapolation.

Regarding the aspect ratio (AR), please see the following forum topic: Extrpolation-S809-Viterna model-NREL Phase VI Turbine.

Regarding the max CD, AirfoilPrep recommends the equation max CD = 1.11 + 0.018*AR, which came from the following report (although I’m not familiar with the details): Viterna, L. A. and Janetzke, D. C., Theoretical and Experimental Power From Large Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines. NASA TM-82944, September, 1982.

Best regards,
