Numerical modelling of hailstone impact on the leading edge of a wind turbine blade [PDF]
, 2013 The scale of modern blades means that tip speeds in excess of 100ms-1 are now common in utility scale turbines. Coupling this with a hailstone terminal velocity ranging from 9ms-1 to 40ms-1, the relative impact velocity becomes highly significant.
