Wall-modeled large-eddy simulation of a trailing-edge serration–finlet configuration
AIP Advances, 2021 This paper proposes a novel trailing-edge treatment to reduce airfoil self-noise: a serration–finlet configuration. According to the current literature, while serrations are good at reducing low-frequency noise, finlets are able to significantly reduce ...

Bio-Inspired Blade Serrations: A Review on Owl-Based Strategies for Aeroacoustic Noise Mitigation [PDF]
BiomimeticsThe increasing deployment of wind energy has brought renewed attention to aeroacoustic noise generated by wind turbine blades, where broadband noise is primarily associated with vortex shedding at the trailing edge (TE) and leading edge (LE) of airfoils.
