Power Generation Enhancement of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines Using Bioinspired Airfoils: A CFD Study

This research investigates the performance implications of employing a bioinspired airfoil (seagull’s wing cross-section) in horizontal-axis wind turbines. Specifically, we replaced the S809 airfoil from NREL Phase VI with an airfoil modeled after seagull wings. Initially, we calibrated four coeffic...
