The optimum micro-cylinder on each cross section gradually approaches to the blade leading edge with the decrease of relative inflow angle. (2) The optimal effect cannot been achieved when using the integrated micro-cylinder A which is formed by the optimal micro-cylinder segments on each cross section. Due to the complexity of flow field, the flow condition at each cross section could be influenced by the upper and lower parts of the flow field. (3) Under different stall conditions, setting a proper micro-cylinder in front of the blade leading edge can effectively suppress the flow separation on wind turbine blade without influencing the wind turbine stability. In this way, the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine can be improved effectively with the increase of power coefficient.]]> Thu 25 Jun 2020 11:44:42 AEST ]]> Investigation on aerodynamic performance of vertical axis wind turbine with different series airfoil shapes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32978 Fri 17 Aug 2018 15:44:14 AEST ]]>
