Parametric Study of a Gurney Flap Implementation in a DU91W(2)250 Airfoil

The growth in size and weight of wind turbines over the last years has led to the development of flow control devices, such as Gurney flaps (GFs). In the current work, a parametric study is presented to find the optimal GF length to improve the airfoil aerodynamic performance. Therefore, the influen...
