Aerodynamic interaction of rain and wind turbine blades: the significance of droplet slowdown and deformation for leading-edge erosion
<p>Leading-edge rain erosion is a severe problem in the wind energy community since it leads to blade damage and a reduction in annual energy production by up to a few percent. The impact speed of rain droplets is a key driver of the erosion rate; therefore, its precise computation is essentia...
