The aerodynamic performance of newly planned as well as existing wind turbines can be
improved by eliminating stall. Vortex generators (VGs) can effectively delay air separation …

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 …

Vortex generators are widely used passive flow-control devices to improve the aerodynamic
performance of large wind turbines. In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil …

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) suffer from a poor power performance at low tip speed
ratios, where their blade aerodynamics are dominated by unsteady separation and dynamic …

We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for
offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the …

The present study considers the use of a slat near the leading edge of an airfoil to delay or
completely cancel separation and thus improves the performance of small wind turbines, in …

A parametric study was carried out to investigate the effect of aero-shaped vortex generators
(AsVGs) on NACA 4415 airfoil by comparing conventional vortex generators (CVGs). Force …

In recent days, enhancement of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) by mitigating flow
deteriorating effects like dynamic stalling, unsteady wake is given great importance. The …

The flow separation could affect the aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine blades
and induce to occur the stall of the wind turbine blades at high angle of attack. The leading …

Abstract With Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) showing promising capabilities in the
recent years, lately there has been an increase in research towards the performance …
