Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO164: A parameter study of leading edge protection in a wind tunnel
Christian Bak, Professor, DTU Wind Energy
Abstract
In this work the wind turbine sub supplier Polytech has together with DTU carried out investigations of how LEP influence the aerodynamic performance. This was carried out in wind tunnel tests that were made in the large Poul la Cour Tunnel for Reynolds numbers between 3 and 7 million corresponding to wind turbines of between 1 and 7 MW with Reynolds numbers of 7 million being very high compared to other wind tunnels in the world. In the tests different shapes of the LEP are investigated forming a parameter study of length and height of the LEP. The presented measurements are carried out at rather high Reynolds numbers where three examples of leading edge protection (LEP) are shown. It is reflected how there is an aerodynamic influence of LEP on the aerodynamic performance and that this depending on the length of the LEP can cause losses comparable to moderate leading edge roughness. The longer the LEP is the less influence it has. It is also seen that thinner LEP is causing less influence, but also that chamfer at higher Reynolds numbers only has a small effect.
