Tip loading is a common strategy to increase the propulsive efficiency of propellers. Solutions such as contracted and tip-loaded (CLT) and ?New generation? CLT propellers exploit the presence of an endplate (?true? or as the result of a dedicated modifi...

To ensure the long-term reliability of tidal stream turbines, waves and currents must be considered during the design phase. In this paper, a three-bladed horizontal axis turbine with a diameter of 0.9 m was used as the baseline model. OpenFOAM, an open-...

The flap side-edge is a vital contributor to airframe noise. In this study, we propose a novel flap side-edge noise reduction method based on the concept of active blowing air. A long slot is opened from the flap?s lower surface to the tip surface to ind...
