Abstract: Numerical simulation was achieved to study the aerodynamic characteristics around horizontal axis wind turbine of Rutland 913 type. Our study has been focus on the wedging angle effect. From application of the commercial computational fluid dynamics code "Fluent", the distribution of the velocity fields and static pressure was presented in different planes of the considered control volume. These results present the local characteristics of the turbulent flow and give us informations about the wind turbine performance. Indeed, the geometrical parameters have been compared to choose the optimal conditions of the wind turbine.
