The increasing size and flexibility of large wind turbine blades introduces considerable
aeroelastic effects, which are caused by FSI (fluid structure interaction). These effects might …

Scientists have reported that plant leaf veins grow into an optimized architecture not only to
accomplish their biological and physiological functions but also to sustain the environmental …

Aeroelastic analysis of a full scale composite wind turbine blade is investigated using its 3D
model. Aerodynamic loading is determined using modified Blade Element Momentum theory …

This study is aimed to aerodynamically design a 1 mega-Watt horizontal axis wind turbine in
order to obtain the maximum power coefficient by linearizing the chord and twist …

Wind turbine efficiency can drop drastically away from design conditions, which is especially
troublesome for small fixed-pitch, constant speed types of devices and those operating in …

This paper describes the study of a small vertical‐axis wind turbine (VAWT) with a combined
design of Darrius and Savonius counter‐rotating rotors. The main purpose of this study is to …
