Abstract A Synthetic Jet Actuator (SJA) is a fluidic device that generates a quasi-steady jet of
fluid by the cyclic suction and blowing of fluid into and out of a cavity across a slot or an …

Arranging VAWTs in close distance to form an array has been shown to be superior
compared with a VAWT working alone. Existing studies on VAWT arrays mainly focused on …

Aerodynamic performances may be optimised by the appropriate tuning of Active Flow
Control (AFC) parameters. For the first time, we couple Genetic Algorithms (GA) with an …

Enhancing the performance of Darrieus Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) is the key to
boost their possible commercialisation in the yet highly competitive wind energy market. This …

Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models are known to be inaccurate in complex
flows, for instance, laminar-turbulent transition, and RANS uncertainty quantification (UQ) is …

It is well known that the Boussinesq turbulent-viscosity hypothesis can introduce uncertainty
in predictions for complex flow features such as separation, reattachment, and laminar …

The present paper introduces a parametric optimization of several Active Flow Control (AFC)
parameters applied to a NACA-8412 airfoil at a single post-stall Angle of Attack (AoA) of 15∘ …

In this paper, the flow characteristics of a symmetrical airfoil at Re= 40 000 near a 0 angle of
attack are investigated numerically, and the nonlinear lift coefficient phenomenon and …

Dynamic stall has always been a key problem restricting the improvement of aircraft
maneuverability. In this paper, the application potential of dual synthetic jets (DSJ) …

Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) blades experience stall conditions at lower tip
speed ratios during rotation, resulting in inefficient power performance. The power …
