The operation of small-scale wind turbines in high-speed wind conditions continues to pose
a number of problems to this industry, turbine owners, and communities, over which this …

Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) are excellent candidates to complement traditional wind
turbines and increase the total wind energy capacity. Development of VAWT has been …

In this study, delta winglet-type vortex generators, widely used in conventional macro
channels and proven to be effective, are used in microchannels to increase their heat …

Dynamic stall causes the highly unsteady and nonlinear aerodynamic loads on wind
turbines. Recently, dynamic stall with passive vortex generators (VGs) and leading-edge …

Dynamic stall is the main reason for the low power efficiency of vertical axis wind turbines
(VAWTs) at low tip speed ratios, where the utilizable wind kinetic energy is also high …

The efficiency of wind turbines can negatively be affected by flow structures such as the
formation of laminar separation bubble or abrupt stall. This can decrease the aerodynamic …

Dynamic stall can produce nonlinear and unsteady aerodynamic loads on wind turbines. It
has attracted considerable attention recently by introducing vortex generators (VGs) to …

Based on the vortex trapping capability of the cavity and the lift improvement mechanism for
the Gurney Flap (GF), their combined impact on aerodynamic efficiency of the straight …

Tidal turbine blades are prone to flow separation in the boundary layer under high speed or
high angle of attack, which will reduce energy efficiency and even the stall damage of the …
