Our study focuses primarily on designing the blade for regions of low wind power density. The aerodynamic airfoils of wind turbine blades have crucial influence on aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbine. This involves the selection of a suitable airfoil section for the proposed wind turbine blade. In this paper NACA 4412 airfoil profile is considered for analysis of wind turbine blade. Geometry of the airfoil is created using GAMBIT 2.4.6. And CFD analysis is carried out using FLUENT 6.3.26 at various angles of attack from 0° to 12. The coefficient of lift and drag values are calculated for 1 ×105 Reynolds number
