Deep Dynamic Stall and Active Aerodynamic Modification on a S833 Airfoil using Pitching Trailing Edge Flap
(SAGE Journals, 2020-08)Due to the dynamic nature of the wind resource, wind turbine blades are subjected to significant variation in flow parameters such as angle of attack. In some cases, the occurrence of dynamic stall on wind turbine blades ... -
Dynamic Stall on Pitching Cambered Airfoil with Phase Offset Trailing Edge Flap
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2020-04-20)Dynamic stall on wind turbine blades often leads to severe fatigue that tends to decrease the lifespan of the blades. To mitigate cyclic loading on the blades, trailing edge flaps (TEF) may be used to control the energy ... -
Quantifying trailing edge flap control capability on wind turbines in a controlled environment
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2021-08)As wind turbine diameters continue to increase, the cyclic loading experienced by the turbine blade due to wind shear and yaw misalignment increases dramatically hindering the development of larger more efficient turbines. ...
