Research Project Highlights
Prototype development
Modern wind turbines are increasingly cost-effective and more reliable, and have scaled up in size to multi-megawatt power ratings.
My main area of research is the Adaptive Rotor blade. Its most distinctive feature is the gently curved tip that makes the most of all wind speeds, including slower speeds.
Various methods have been established to simulate the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines and the Blade Element Momentum theory (BEM) is the most famous and wildly used one. Combining the blade element theory and momentum theory, BEM can simulate the power and thrust of a wind turbine efficiently, but the aerodynamic behavior outside the rotor is not considered by BEM.

Next generation of rotor blades
Increasing efficiency with turbulator and vortex generator.
In spite of the many years humans have expolited the energy of the wind, there is still a big need for improving our basic knowledge of wind turbine aerodynamics
