Airfoil Blender for Blade Optimizations
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018 An airfoil database was developed in the present work. The database includes a multivariate, unstructured grid, Radial Basis Function (RBF), optimization-compatible interpolator for airfoil aerodynamic coefficients. The database was designed to aid complex blade design optimizations carried out in a novel optimization framework, HAWTOpt2, being ...

Numerical optimization for high efficiency, low noise airfoils [PDF]
29th AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 2011 One key element in the aerodynamic design of wind turbines is the use of specially tailored airfoils to increase the ratio of energy c apture to the loading and thereby to reduce cost of energy. At the same time, noise reduction i s becoming more and more important.

Parametric research and aerodynamic performance analysis of wind turbine airfoil with added flap
AIP Advances, 2022 A self-popped up flap is added to the airfoil (S809) suction surface to improve aerodynamic performance under large angle of attack (AOA) inspired by the slightly popped up feathers on the trailing edge of a bird’s wing. The response surface methodology (

Wind Turbine Control for Spatially Varying Turbulence
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of inflow turbulence generation simulation methods and blade pitch control strategies on the performance and blade structure loading of a large offshore wind turbine. Two inflow representations were considered: synthetic Kaimal turbulence generated in accordance with IEC design standards and large‐eddy ...

Coastal Marine Carbon and Air‐Sea Fluxes Quantified From pH Sensors on an Extended AUV Deployment
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract For the first time, the Autosub Long Range (ALR) completed a fully autonomous, long‐distance (2,000 km) scientific mission, delivering new insight into coastal carbonate dynamics and air‐sea CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ fluxes. Equipped with a suite of oceanographic sensors, including a Lab‐on‐Chip (LOC) pH sensor and a Sea‐Bird SeaFET pH sensor, the
