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 …

It is well-known that many species of owl have the unique ability to fly silently, which can be
attributed to their distinctive and special feather adaptations. Inspired by the owls …

This paper presents the results of a detailed experimental investigation into the effectiveness
of sinusoidal leading edge serrations on aerofoils for the reduction of the noise generated by …

Wings with tubercles have been shown to display advantageous loading behavior at high
attack angles compared to their unmodified counterparts. In an earlier study by the authors, it …

Sinusoidal modifications to the leading edge of a foil, or tubercles, have been shown to
improve aerodynamic performance under certain flow conditions. One of the mechanisms of …

In this study, the flap and vortex generator (VG) mechanisms which were employed
separately in aircraft were used as integrated first in literature. In this mechanism, the flap …

In this paper, the open source software OpenFOAM is used to perform a numerical
investigation of the cavitating flow around a modified NACA63 4-021 hydrofoil with …

A comprehensive numerical investigation is performed to study the aerodynamic
performance and wake development of a NACA0012 airfoil with wavy leading edges (WLE) …

A numerical investigation of the flow mechanisms and fluctuating aerodynamic
performances of an airfoil with leading-edge protuberances is presented within post-stall …

Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) has become a research hotspot because of its structural
advantages and omni-direction capability. While a further performance improvement is …
