Controlling Tip Vortices and Cavitation through Tip Permeability for Tidal Turbines
Yabin Liu, Junchen Tan, Richard H. J. Willden +2
Blade-tip vortices can lead to wakes, cavitation and noise, and their control remains a significant challenge for tidal and wind turbines. In the present work, we propose and inves…

Passive control of wing tip vortices through a grooved-tip design
Junchen Tan, ShÅ«ji Åtomo, Ignazio Maria Viola +1
This paper investigates the characteristics and control of tip vortices generated by a finite wing, focusing on the impact of the novel grooved-tip designs. Tip vortices can lead t…
