An Experimental Study on the Effects ofWinglets on the Wake and Performance of a ModelWind Turbine
Wind tunnel experiments were performed to investigate the effects of downstream-facing winglets on the wake dynamics, power and thrust of a model wind turbine. Two similar turbines with and without winglets were operated under the same conditions. Results show an increase in the power and thrust coe...
