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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
