Based on the orientation of the rotor, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical axis
wind turbines (VAWTs) are two broad families of wind turbines in the world. The HAWT is …

Horizontal axis wind turbines are used for energy generation at domestic as well as
industrial levels. In the wind turbines, a reduction in drag force and an increase in lift force …

Several important factors, including the lift-to-drag ratio, affect an airfoil's overall
performance. An airfoil's efficiency is increased by a higher lift-to-drag ratio. For years …

Societies rising environmental awareness in the context of advancing climate change is
continuously shifting the focus of automotive development to vehicle efficiency and thus also …

Small bump on the airfoil results geometry and geometry gives huge variations on the
aerodynamic forces generated by an object. Bump on airfoil can be treated as aerodynamic …

The present work is an attempt to enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of NACA 2412 airfoil
through surface modifications, for various angles of attack. The surface of NACA 2412 airfoil …

In this study, surface features such as dimples and bumps are introduced to the surface of a
NACA 0012 airfoil to study their effect on boundary layer separation, particularly at high …

This study includes a numerical simulation to investigate the aerodynamic behavior of the air
flow around the surface of the NACA0012 airfoil, with and without a triangular rib. The …

The paper presents the surface-modified NACA 2412 airfoil performance with variable cavity
characteristics such as size, shape and orientation, by numerically investigated with the pre …

The efficiency of an airfoil can be improved by adjusting its surface. CFD software was used
to investigate a 2D airfoil with and without a spanwise semicircular groove on the upper …
