It is projected that, in the following years, the wind-energy industry will maintain its rapid
growth over the last few decades. Such growth in the industry has been accompanied by the …

The paper describes the development and description of the aerodynamic models used to
estimate the aerodynamic loads on wind turbine constructions. This includes a status of the …

A review of the state-of-the-knowledge of microvortex generators (MVGs) and their effect on
separated shock/boundary-layer interactions is provided. The flowfield around and behind …

Vortex generators (VGs) are flow control devices employed to avoid or delay flow
separation. In most cases, the VG is calculated with the same height as the boundary layer …

Patterns of vorticity in the wake of a single rectangular winglet (vortex generator) embedded
in a turbulent boundary layer have been studied using Stereoscopic Particle Image …

Experimental results and complimentary computations for airfoils with vortex generators are
compared in this paper, as part of an effort within the AVATAR project to develop tools for …

Vortex generators (VGs) are usually employed to improve the aerodynamic performance for
both spatial or energy issues; such as aircrafts and wind turbine blades. These structures …

ABSTRACT Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry measurements investigating the effect
of vortex generators (VGs) on the flow near stall were carried out in a purpose‐built wind …

In this work, we investigate the approach of a descending vortex pair to a horizontal ground
plane. As in previous studies, the primary vortices exhibit a 'rebound', due to the separation …

Vortex generators (VGs) are increasingly used in the wind turbine manufacture industry as
flow control devices to improve rotor blade aerodynamic performance. Nevertheless, VGs …
