Automated Detection of Premature Flow Transitions on Wind Turbine Blades Using Model-Based Algorithms

Defects on rotor blade leading edges of wind turbines can lead to premature laminar–turbulent transitions, whereby the turbulent boundary layer flow forms turbulence wedges. The increased area of turbulent flow around the blade is of interest here, as it can have a negative effect on the energy prod...
