Parametric Study of a Gurney Flap Implementation in a DU91W(2)250 Airfoil

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The growth in size and weight of wind turbines over the last years has led to the development of flow control devices, such as Gurney flaps (GFs). In the current work, a parametric study is presented to find the optimal GF length to improve the airfoil ...

Performance enhancement of Darrieus wind turbines using Plain Flap and Gurney Flap configurations: A CFD analysis

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have limited self-starting torque, especially in urban areas with low and changing wind speeds. This study modifies NACA 0015 aerofoils with Plain Flaps (PF) and Gurney Flaps (GF) to improve aerodynamic ...

A water tunnel study of Gurney flaps [PDF]

open access: yes
Several Gurney flap configurations were tested in the NASA Langley 16 x 24 inch Water Tunnel. These devices provided an increased region of attached flow on a wing upper surface relative to the wing without the flaps.

Effect of Deformable Gurney Flaps on the Output Power of Flapping Turbine

open access: yesFluids
The Gurney flap (GF) is a simple flat plate frequently mounted at the airfoil rear. Several investigations have been devoted to studying the effect of a rigid or even movable GF on the aerodynamic behavior of several devices such as flapping airfoils and

Simulation of tail boom vibrations using main rotor-fuselage Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this work, fully-resolved rotor-fuselage interactional aerodynamics is used as the forcing term in a model based on the Euler-Bernoulli equation, aiming to simulate helicopter tail-boom vibration.
