Bio-inspired blades with local trailing edge flexibility increase the efficiency of vertical axis wind turbines
This experimental study is focused on quantifying the effect of trailing edge flexibility on the performance of a three straight bladed vertical axis wind turbine, with a chord-to-diameter ratio c/D=0.16at a moderately high Reynolds number (based on diameter) ReD=4⋅105. The blades consist of NACA-00...
