This comprehensive review aims to provide a critical overview of the work on tubercles in the
past decade. The humpback whale is of interest to aerodynamic/hydrodynamic researchers …

The airfoil shape in the turbine blades is responsible for lift generation in horizontal axis
wind turbine (HAWT). However, the main problem is the occurrence of stalls on the blade …

An experimental study is conducted to research the combined effect of leading-edge (LE)
tubercles and internal slots on the Clark-Y airfoil at Reynolds numbers (Re) of 5.0× 10 4 …

Observations of maneuvering humpback whales have revealed unique hydrodynamic
performance hypothesized to be a result of tubercles on the leading-edge of the whales' …

The effects of leading-edge tubercles, based on the flippers of humpback whales, on the
flow field around an airfoil undergoing large-amplitude dynamic changes in the angle of …

Bioinspired aerodynamics is an emerging subject in the design of advanced flight vehicles
with superior performance and minimum fuel consumption. In the present review article, a …

A study on the improvement of the NACA0012 wing performance in the low Reynolds
number (Re) region of 10,000≤ Re≤ 60,000 using a leading edge protuberance (LEP) was …

I. Introduction n recent years, there has been increased interest in the study of low Reynolds
number flows particularly in the context of development of micro air vehicles, high altitude …

SERRATED leading edges are well-known for their ability to reduce leading edge
broadband noise at highly turbulent inflow conditions. For maximum effect, special care …

Modifications mimicking the leading-edge protuberances on the pectoral fin of humpback
whales have been widely adopted to the designs of foils and control surfaces to delay stall …
