Effect on Torque and Thrust of the Pointed Tip Shape of a Wind Turbine Blade

Effect on Torque and Thrust of the Pointed Tip Shape of a Wind Turbine Blade

This paper presents the effect of the tip shape of a wind turbine blade on aerodynamic forces, including the effects of separation, transition and stall. A National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Phase-VI wind turbine blade was used, in which the shape of the tip was modified to a pointed tip. C...
