Analysis of Airfoils Modifications on Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blades
(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
(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 ...
