Separated Flow Control of Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Blades Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Actuators

The flow control over the blades of a small horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) model using a dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator (DBD-PA) was studied based on large-eddy simulations. The numerical simulations were performed with a high-resolution computational method, and the effects of th...
