Trailing edge noise remains a primary limiting factor in the widespread implementation of wind turbines, particularly near populated areas. Noise regulations commonly require acoustic de-rating of existing turbines, leading ...

In the ongoing work to increase the efficiency of large-scale, horizontal-axis wind turbines, the modular blade concept has been proposed. The aerodynamic performance of modular blades, whose baseline profile remains ...

The present investigation of trailing edge acoustic emission of an airfoil concerns the effects of the broadband noise generated by the interaction of turbulent boundary layer and airfoil trailing edge, and the tonal noise ...

This paper briefly examines the aerodynamic effects of typical wind turbine blade roughness by investigating an appropriate scaling criteria which best relates the roughness configuration to the resulting changes in ...

The interactions between rough surfaces and fluid flows play an important role in turbulence simulation. The understanding of roughness elements at the wall (i.e., buildings and terrain features) to aerodynamics flow is ...
