Among renewable sources of energy, wind is the most widely used resource due to its
commercial acceptance, low cost and ease of operation and maintenance, relatively much …

The present review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the research activities on
wind turbine aeroacoustics at DTU over the last 20 years, as well as it gives the state-of-the …

Defects at the leading edge of blades are an important source of power loss for wind
turbines. In the present work, a systematic study is carried out on two typical types of defects …

With the confidentiality of turbine blade geometry, wind farm developers and/or end-users
have difficulties to optimize their wind turbine operations and wind farm layouts with respect …

The objective of the current work is to experimentally investigate the effect of turbulent flow
on an airfoil with a Gurney flap. The wind tunnel experiments were performed for the DTU …

This chapter focuses on airfoils for wind turbine blades and their characteristics. The use of
panel codes such as XFOIL and RFOIL and CFD codes for the prediction of airfoil …

A new airfoil family, called NPU-MWA (Northwestern Polytechnical University Multi-
megawatt Wind-turbine A-series) airfoils, was designed to improve both aerodynamic and …

Although the optimization of wind turbine blade aerodynamic performance has achieved
fruitful results, whether airfoil concavity, an important method for preventing flow separation …

Aerodynamic and geometric compatibility among airfoils of different thicknesses that are
arranged at different blade radial stations are essential to ensure the blade's high …

The current airfoil design methods are based on one point of design angle of attack, in order
to seek the local maximum aerodynamic performance without considering the whole …
