    • Airfoil Design Using Blade Element Momentum Theory 

      Lobeto Sanfeliz, Rodrigo (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2015)
      A wind turbine is a device designed to extract kinetic energy from the wind and convert it to mechanical energy, which in turn can be equivalent to electric power. On this work we will focus on the aerodynamics of wind ...

    • Analysis of Airfoils Modifications on Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blades 

      Guzmán Claudio, Carlos M. (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2020)
      This project investigates the combination of upper surface dimples and trailing edge serrations of a 3D thin airfoil and their effect on aerodynamic performance. Dimples are known to reduce a golf ball’s drag while a ...

    • Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blade Design for the Urban Areas in Puerto Rico 

      Castanon Pereira, Angel L. (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2022)
      Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines are the preferred and most common method for power extraction from wind. In this study, the researcher will test three different airfoils to design a blade that optimizes ...
