Numerical Investigations of Dynamic Stall Control
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper we investigated numerically the dynamic stall phenomenon and the possibilities to control it, with application to vertical axis wind turbines (for urban users). The Phenomenon appear at low tip speed ratio (TSR<4) and it has a great impact on structural integrity of the wind turbine and power performances. For this reason we performed a computational study of dynamic stall around NACA 0012 airfoil in pitching motion at relative low Reynolds number (~10[sup]5[/sup]). Also, we performed the same analysis for four flow control methods: two passive (Gurney flap and slot) and two active (blowing jet on the rounded trailing edge and synthetic jet periodically activated). The Results are compared to those of an existing experimental case test.
