Article
Full-text available
We designed 60% thick airfoil to improve the aerodynamic performance in the root region of wind turbine rotor blades, taking into account current constraints. After an extensive literature review and patent research, a design methodology (including the considerations of simple manufacturing) was set up, and extensive 2D- and 3D-CFD investigations w...
Chapter
Wind energy plays a leading role as a renewable energy source, especially in countries with a low annual solar yield.
Article
The interaction of several instabilities and the influence of free-stream turbulence on laminar-turbulent transition on a 20% thick wind-turbine blade section with a laminar separation bubble (LSB) are investigated with wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES). Turbulence intensities (TI) of 0%, 2.2%, 4.5%, 8.6%, and 15.6% at chord Reynolds numbe...
Technical Report
Full-text available
This document reports the operators of the parabolized stability equations (PSE) model employed in the article "Influence of free-stream turbulence on the boundary layer stability of a wind turbine airfoil and near wake". This model was first developed in Nogueira et al. (2022).

Full-text available
Among a few field experiments on wind turbines for analyzing laminar–turbulent boundary layer transition, the results obtained from the DAN-AERO and aerodynamic glove projects provide significant findings. The effect of inflow turbulence on boundary layer transition and the possible transition mechanisms on wind turbine blades are discussed and com...
Article
Full-text available
Within the framework of the fourth phase of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Wind Task 29, a large comparison exercise between measurements and aeroelastic simulations has been carried out featuring three simulation cases in axial, sheared and yawed inflow conditions. Results were obtained from more than 19 simulation tools originating from 12...

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the transition scenario of the flow around a typical section of a wind turbine blade exposed to different levels of inflow turbulence. A rather low Reynolds number of Rec=105 is studied at a fixed angle of attack but under five different turbulence intensities (TIs) up to TI = 11.2 %. Using wall-...

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the transition scenario of the flow around a typical section of a wind turbine blade exposed to different levels of inflow turbulence. As a first step towards this objective, a rather low Reynolds number of Rec = 105 is studied at a fixed angle of attack but under five different turbulence intens...

Full-text available
Boundary layer transition studies have been carried out using the unsteady surface pressure data from the EU project MEXICO and the later New-MEXICO experiment at the DNW wind tunnel, which have been subject of investigation in IEA Wind Task 29 Mexnext. The experiments were conducted on a specially designed 4.5 m diameter wind turbine with and with...
