We present some results for turbulent incompressible flow around 2D cross sections of offshore wind turibine blades. Drag and lift coefficients are compared with experimental values. The simulations are done using a newly developed CFD code based on isogeometric spline finite elements. Spline elements are both high order and smooth, which give a very efficient geometry representation of the wing profiles compared with classical low order finite elements. The CFD solver uses a mixed finite element formulation and an efficient segregated solution scheme. For turbulent flows we have implemented the one equation Spalart-Allmaras RANS model.
