A rapid growth has been observed in the wind energy sector over the past few decades. On the whole, wind energy is harnessed through the use of such turbines. The performance and energy calculations fairly difficult because of the complicated aerodynamics of wind turbines. However, exact simulations of air flow around the wind turbine blades and aerodynamic calculations are now possible. This paper focused on designing three-dimensional models of a small horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) rotor using solid works software. This study was carried out numerically by using ANSYS Fluent software. A rated wind speed of 8 m/s is specified for the velocity inlet and the gauge pressure equal to zero has been set for the pressure outlet and an angular velocity of 213.33 rad/s has been defined. The validation of scaled original wind turbine rotor model has been simulated and then compared to published data. The comparison has showed a good agreement with a deviation of less than 3% has been documented.
