The aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behavior of wind turbines presents special characteristics which make their prediction a significant research subject. The rotor design is directly influenced by the aerodynamic analysis and the complexity of the rotor flow field. The understanding of the noise source mechanisms, depending on the rotor aerodynamic parameters and the operating conditions is very important for a wide range of the rotor’s frequency spectrum. Thus, the noise prediction of a wind turbine is a challenging matter similar to other complicated aeroacoustic problems such as helicopter or propeller noise.
