Impacts of Blade Camber on Cross‐Flow Turbine Performance and Loading

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cross‐flow turbines show promise for renewable energy generation from wind and tidal sources. The rotating reference frame of cross‐flow turbine blades results in virtual camber and incidence due to streamline curvature, altering the lift, drag, and pitching moment of the blades. Adding geometric camber is therefore likely to alter performance

An Engineering Model for Static Yawed Wind Turbines Based on Actuator Line Simulations and Symbolic Regression

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

Fluorine‐Free Soft Nanocomposites for High‐Speed Liquid Impact Repellence

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 31, 16 April 2026.
Fluorine‐free soft nanocomposite coatings are developed using silicone oil‐mediated mechanical‐stiffness control, enabling ‘dry’ liquid‐repellent surfaces that resist high‐speed water jet impacts up to ∼60 m/s. By tuning nanoparticle loading and oil content, the coatings also achieve >90% optical transparency, amphiphobicity with impact resistance to ...
