Experimental Study of Airfoil Leading Edge Combs for Turbulence Interaction Noise Reduction

The interaction of a turbulent flow with the leading edge of a blade is a main noise source mechanism for fans and wind turbines. Motivated by the silent flight of owls, the present paper describes an experimental study performed to explore the noise-reducing effect of comb-like extensions, which ar...
