Abstract
Various improvements can be made to Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) for maximum performance in an urban environment. One such improvement is the inclusion of bio-inspired leading-edge tubercles to increase the aerodynamic performance. These structures, found on the flippers of humpback whales, are believed to aid the mammal in quick maneuvering. The objective of the chapter is to investigate and compare the performance of a Darrieus type VAWT with the inclusion of leading edge tubercles. The performance of the turbine with leading-edge tubercles on the blades is compared with the turbine with normal blade, computationally (with computational fluid dynamics using transition SST turbulence model) and experimentally. The focus lies on building an experimental setup to compare the performance of leading-edge tubercles with the baseline turbine.
