This paper provides a review of the aerodynamic behavior of horizontal axis wind turbines
operating in hazardous environmental conditions. Over the past decade, renewable energy …

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 …

Two-dimensional incompressible flow around a NACA 63–415 airfoil, which is encountered
in engineering applications as a typical wind-turbine-blade profile, is investigated …

High temperatures and dust accumulation can impact wind turbine performance and
increase the maintenance burden and operating cost of wind turbines in desert regions. A …

Wind turbines are mostly prone to reduced aerodynamic performance due to the inevitable
occurrence of the roughness on blades. However, it may be possible to control the boundary …

The main purpose of this work is to simulate the flow of air and solid particles over a wildfire
and to investigate the single and multiphase flow over the surface of a custom-designed …

Many wind turbines have been deployed in different regions of Jordan; most are located in
southern Jordan, which has a desert climate. In one of these farms near Ma'an city, the …

Energy is a cornerstone for achieving industrial development and prosperous economy.
Wind energy has the biggest share of renewable energy sector in many countries leading …

The main purpose of this study is to provide the decision makers in Jordan with a
methodology to choose the most competitive waste to energy technology. The study used a …

Wind turbine blades are prone to icing and their performance is affected significantly by the
roughness caused by icing and erosion. Numerical models are constructed to simulate the …
