Development of a passive‐adaptive slat for a wind turbine airfoil

Abstract A passive‐adaptive slat concept was designed to avoid separation in the root region of a horizontal‐axis wind turbine blade. This concept incorporates an autonomously moveable slat device only driven by the aerodynamic forces acting on it without the need for mechanical or electrical actuat...
