Passive vortex generators (VGs) have been widely used on wind turbines to improve the
aerodynamic power. Nevertheless, most studies of VGs are conducted on flat plates and …

Tidal energy can play an important role in the Net Zero transition. Increasing tidal turbine
performance through innovation is crucial if the cost of tidal energy is to become competitive …

Abstract Today, Vortex Generators (VGs) are becoming an integral part of a Wind Turbine
blade design. However, the challenges involved in the computation of the flow around VGs …

Flow past a backward facing ramp (BFR) with rectangular vane-type vortex generators (VGs)
located upstream has been studied numerically using OpenFOAM based steady-state RANS …

The aim of the current work was to analyze the effect of retrofitting vortex generators (VGs)
on the blades of a constant RPM, pitch‐regulated, megawatt‐sized turbine suffering from …

Vortex generators (VGs) are increasingly used on wind turbine blades to delay airflow
separation. Small-size VGs substantially increase the numerical cost of simulations of large …

A hypothesis was tested and validated for predicting the vortex strength induced by a vortex
generator in wall-bounded flow by combining the knowledge of the Vortex Generator (VG) …

This study presents the results of a collaborative effort between academia and industry
aimed at further enhancing the benefits provided by Vortex Generators and Gurney Flaps …

The RANS inaccuracy in predicting flow separation becomes relevant in thick-modern
blades, especially once they get dirt or eroded. The literature has tackled the problem by …

Vortex Generators (VGs) are a passive flow control device with multiple applications,
including horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). Their most popular version is that of thin …
