Effect of blade tip shapes on the performance of a small HAWT: An investigation in a wind tunnel

Aerodynamic performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine blade is affected by its span stacking whether it is two (2D) or three-dimension (3D). The optimization by including swept or/and dihedral at the blade tip tends to enhance its aerodynamic behavior. In order to correctly select the swept angl...
