Designing High‐Performance, Manufacturing‐Friendly Rotor Blades for Micro Wind Turbines via Cambered Plate Airfoil Optimization

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Conventional methods for manufacturing rotor blades, such as composite construction and die casting, are hindered by high costs due to expensive molds, while 3D printing often results in poor quality or high production costs with unfavorable cost‐per‐part scaling.

Rotorcraft thickness noise control

open access: yesArchives of Mechanics, 2021
The paper describes an innovative idea of Thickness Noise Control (TNC) based on adoption of a flow control strategy (i.e. surface ventilation) for acoustic attenuation of helicopter rotor periodic noise.

Wind Tunnel Test of Counter‐Rotating Dual Rotor Wind Turbine With Double Rotational Armature Design

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the performance of a counter‐rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR‐DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar‐sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material for the literature.

Main rotor-body action for virtual blades model

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
This research aims to investigate a virtual blade model and assess rotor influence on helicopter fuselage aerodynamics. The rotor disk is discretized in the azimuthal direction, and a time-varied pressure jump is applied in regions occupied by the blades.

Numerical Simulation of Fully Coupled Flow-Field and Operational Limitation Envelopes of Helicopter-Ship Combinations

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Landing a helicopter to the ship flight deck is most demanding even for the most experienced pilots and modeling and simulation of the ship-helicopter dynamic interface is a substantially challenging technical problem. In this paper, a coupling numerical

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Aerodynamic Performance Investigation of a Biomimetic‐Based Small‐Scale Horizontal‐Axis Wind Turbine: An Experimental Analysis

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT As the demand for power increases, installing small‐scale wind turbines can be an alternative solution. However, the main challenge for their implementation is the aerodynamic noise. With a view to minimizing noise, this study focuses on the performance investigation of a small‐scale horizontal‐axis wind turbine with NACA 4412 blades inspired ...
