Aero‐servo‐elastic co‐optimization of large wind turbine blades with distributed aerodynamic control devices

open access: yesWind Energy, 2023
This work introduces automated wind turbine optimization techniques based on full aero‐servo‐elastic models and investigates the potential of trailing edge flaps to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of wind turbines.

Comparison of the takeoff performance of two wing types for an airplane with short takeoff and landing capability

open access: yesАвіаційно-космічна техніка та технологія, 2023
The subject of study in this article is the effect of mechanization of the trailing edge of the wing, located along 95% of the wing console, on the lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and aerodynamic quality of the wing during takeoff operation for a ...

Theoretical performances of double Gurney Flap equipped the VAWTs [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin, 2012
A Gurney flap is simply a flat plate attached perpendicularly to the lower surface of an airfoil or wing trailing edge. A T-strip or double Gurney flap is attached to both the upper and lower surfaces.

Experimental Aerodynamic Comparison of Active Camber Morphing and Trailing-Edge Flaps [PDF]

open access: yesAIAA Journal, 2021
Unlike hinged flaps (for example, ailerons, elevators, and rudders), camber morphing devices vary camber distribution in a smooth and continuous way, resulting in aerodynamic efficiency improvements due to the absence of sharp changes in airfoil camber.

Active Management of Flap-Edge Trailing Vortices [PDF]

open access: yes4th Flow Control Conference, 2008
The vortex hazard produced by large airliners and increasingly larger airliners entering service, combined with projected rapid increases in the demand for air transportation, is expected to act as a major impediment to increased air traffic capacity.

A Numerical Simulation on the Airfoil S833 Equipped with Flapping Trailing Edge Fringes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2020
Design optimization has been increasingly investigated for an airfoil, aiming to reduce the vorticity in the wake and increase the aerodynamic performance. In the current work, a two-dimensional (2D) S833 airfoil equipped with a flapping fringe at the trailing edge has been studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

On the Aeroelasticity of a Cantilever Wing Equipped with the Spanwise Morphing Trailing Edge Concept

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
This paper studies the aeroelastic behavior of a rectangular, cantilever wing equipped with the spanwise morphing trailing edge (SMTE) concept. The SMTE consists of multiple trailing edge flaps that allow controlling the spanwise camber distribution of a
