Control mechanism of unsteady flow separation on vertical axis wind turbine blades via double-slotted flap

Aiming at the core issue of flow separation on vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) blades under high angles of attack during periodic rotation—which degrades aerodynamic performance and energy capture efficiency—this paper proposes a VAWT blade configuration equipped with double-slotted flaps, drawing on mature high-lift...
