Owl airfoil aerodynamic noise sources and performance compared to hawk and NACA0012 airfoils for low Reynolds applications

Abstract The investigation of low Reynolds number flows is crucial, particularly for applications such as wind turbines and small-scale UAVs. This study compares the owl airfoil with the NACA0012 and hawk airfoils through wind tunnel testing, utilizing pressure sensors and force balance to examine t...
