Abstract: The results of stereo particleimagevelocimetry (PIV) measurements are presented in this paper to gain further insight into the wake of a finite width Gurney flap. It is attached to an FX 63137 airfoil which is known for a ...

Abstract: The present paper analyzes the effect of passive flow control (PFC) with respect to the retrofitting on small horizontal axis wind turbines (sHAWTs). We conducted extensive wind tunnel studies on a high performance low ...

Abstract: Wind turbine industry has a special need for accurate post stall airfoil data. While literature often covers incidence ranges [−10 deg, +25 deg], smaller machines experience a range of up to 90 deg for horizontal axis and ...

Abstract: The wind industry needs reliable and accurate airfoil polars to properly predict wind turbine performance, especially during the initial design phase. Medium- and low-fidelity simulations directly depend on the accuracy ...
