Aerodynamic behavior of an airfoil with morphing trailing edge for wind turbine applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The length of wind turbine rotor blades has been increased during the last decades. Higher stresses arise especially at the blade root because of the longer lever arm.

Adjoint-based optimization of flapping plates hinged with a trailing-edge flap

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015
It is important to understand the impact of wing-morphing on aerodynamic performance in the study of flapping-wing flight of birds and insects. We use a flapping plate hinged with a trailing-edge flap as a simplified model for flexible/morphing wings in ...
