A Novel Low Reynolds Number Airfoil Design for Small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

In order to improve the performance of small horizontal axis wind turbines at low wind speed, this study designs a novel airfoil section with an optimum transition ramp through multipoint inverse design method. A viscous analysis code is used to close the design loop. Further, Shear stress transport...
