This comprehensive review aims to provide a critical overview of the work on tubercles in the
past decade. The humpback whale is of interest to aerodynamic/hydrodynamic researchers …

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 …

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 …

Tidal turbine blades are prone to flow separation in the boundary layer under high speed or
high angle of attack, which will reduce energy efficiency and even the stall damage of the …

This paper contributes to the investigations into the feasibility of improving the performance
of a marine current turbine using a biomimetic concept inspired from the leading-edge …

Cavitation can appear on the rotating blades in water. Facilities built for testing models of
cavitating marine propellers and methods developed for extrapolation of their test results to …

In the current context of energy transition, the development and improvement of energy
recovery systems is essential. These system are numerous and some of them use turbines …

An airfoil body may include a plurality of tubercles along a leading edge of the airfoil body
and a plurality of crenulations along a trailing edge of the airfoil body, wherein at least one of …

The necessity to improve the hydrodynamic performance of marine vessels has confirmed
the urgency of conducting further investigations on biomimetic tubercles. In this work, towing …

The humpback whale flippers' leading-edge tubercles have received much attention since
the 1990's. This paper covers computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and field …
