Numerical investigations of hydrodynamic performance of hydrofoils with leading-edge protuberances

Leading-edge protuberances on airfoils or hydrofoils have been considered as a viable passive method for flow separation control recently. In this article, the hydrodynamic performance of a NACA 63 4 -021 (baseline) foil and two modified foils with leading-edge protuberances was numerically investig...
