Design and analysis of energy efficient wind turbine blades
Inspired by humpback whale flippers, this study presents the effect of leading-edge tubercles on the wind turbine blade. Force models for lift and drag are developed on the blade which have an important role in the wind turbine performance. The study compares the CFD simulation of fluid flow over bl...
