Subject 1-study the translation and rotation. We also introduce the notion of Homogeneous transformations which combines the operations of rotation and translation into a single matrix multiplication.

Subject 2-Mathematical modeling of the aerodynamic equations and programming using Matlab is performed to calculate all the required forces and parameters.
Wind turbines are designed to generate the maximum power from the wind with keeping the cost of construction reasonable. In this work, we have developed a mathematical modeling and numerical simulation using Finite volume method to optimize the geometry of the blades and thereby extract the maximum power. Modeling was performed using the Blade Element Momentum Theory, numerical values and Aerodynamic equations were developed for geometry optimization
Applying conservation of angular momentum equations and using the blade element theory we derive the differential forces, torque, power, angles and the power coefficient. Then, we calculated the total thrust T, torque, Q, and power, P as the sum of the differential power from each of the spanwise segments.
All the geometrical blade parameters that maximize the power extracted from the wind was chosen for geometrical modeling and CFD simulations. These results were obtained as functions of different inputs like the speed ratio and the number of blades and many other geometrical parameters.
The obtained values that maximize the maximum power were used to design the geometry of the blade using CREO software.
The simulation results show the importance of numerical simulation to optimize the blades geometry and improve wind turbine performance
