Rotor Blade Aerodynamics

Researcher
Researcher

  • Developed empirical and physics-based stall models for wings and blades aerodynamic addons (e.g. vortex generators) in RFOIL/XFOIL, integrating CFD, wind tunnel, and field measurement data
  • Designed and executed wind-tunnel tests for unsteady aero-structural loads and boundary layer flow measurement in dynamic stall, with hands-on rotary rig design and pressure sensor layout optimisation
  • Translated aerodynamic simulations and measurements into advisory reports on aerodynamic design and integration to reduce aero-structural loads and Cost of Energy for turbine OEMs and researchers
