The airfoil shape in the turbine blades is responsible for lift generation in horizontal axis
wind turbine (HAWT). However, the main problem is the occurrence of stalls on the blade …

Leading-edge tubercles on the humpback whale pectoral fin are known to have
aerodynamic benefits, particularly in the post-stall regime. In this research, a horizontal-axis …

The applicability of leading-edge protuberances as a passive flow control approach inspired
by humpback whale flippers has attracted significant research attention in aquatic and …

Cavitation is an ever-present issue in the maritime industry as it causes damage to the
propeller in the form of erosion, reducing hydrodynamic performance and increasing the …

Renewable energy resources is one of the alternative energy source identified to address
the issue of climate change, energy security and economic growth. Tidal energy is a …

Marine ducted thrusters are widely used to provide propulsive thrust for a range of marine
vessels due to their high thrust capability in heavy loaded conditions. This paper presents a …

This paper focuses on the study of cavitation and underwater noise performance of a
biomimetically improved horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) with a leading edge design …

The vortex structure is a typically coherent structure. The influence of hydrofoil jets with
different chordal positions on the vortex structure in the hydrofoil flow field is investigated to …

The power coefficient for a horizontal axis tidal turbine is the determinant factor for the
efficiency of a tidal energy system. To guarantee a highly efficient tidal turbine operating in …

The results of large eddy simulations on a cylindrical grid consisting of 5.8× 10 9 points are
reported, dealing with marine propellers with leading edge tubercles (LETs). They are …
