Numerical investigation into bio-inspired flow control for renewable turbine

There are several methods for enhancing the efficiency of the Vertical Axis Turbine (VAT) and Oscillating Foil Turbine (OFT), such as the variable pitch method for the VAT blade and the non-sinusoidal pitch method for the OFT. However, all of them are not bio-inspired methods. The main objective of...
