Aerodynamic performance analysis of corrugated dragonfly-wing airfoil for small wind turbine blade application

Show all versions (2)

A biomimetic design was investigated to enhance the performance of small horizontal axis wind turbine. The aerodynamic performance of a corrugated dragonfly-wing airfoil was evaluated using wind tunnel experimentations and CFD simulations. At Reynolds number of 40000 to 370000, the corrugated dragon...
