TL;DR
This study uses co-flow jet technology to improve wind turbine airfoil performance by optimizing jet configurations and injection parameters.
Contribution
The paper introduces a computational analysis of co-flow jet integration on the S809 airfoil to maximize aerodynamic efficiency in wind turbines.
Findings
The highest lift-to-drag ratio is achieved with a suction slot at 80%C and an injection angle of 78°.
Increasing the injected mass flow rate beyond 2.5% yields negligible performance improvements.
Disabling the CFJ reduces lift by 42%, increases drag, and causes earlier stall at 16.24° attack angle.
Abstract
Co-Flowing Jet (CFJ) is considered one of the most significant active flow controls techniques used to migrate airfoil vortices and delay stall phenomenon. This research presents a computational investigation of the S809 airfoil equipped with CFJ to predict the optimum configuration for improved aerodynamic performance. The effect of injection angles, suction location, and injected mass flow rates (mo) were analyzed. Several suction slots were studied at different locations of (60, 70, 80 and 90) %C for various injection angles of 48°, 58°, 68°, 78° and 88°. The most effective combinations of suction location and injection angle that achieves the maximum (Cl/Cd) ratio were determined and then analyzed for different injected (mo) of 2.5%, 5% and 7.5%. The results indicate that the highest lift-to-drag ratio (Cl/Cd) is achieved with a suction slot at 80%C and an injection angle of 78°.…
