TL;DR: In this paper, the optimization study of an airfoil type Savonius turbine is presented, focusing on maximizing the power coefficient of the turbine, using a Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) for calculating power coefficient, a Class Shape Transfer (CST) function code for generating coordinates of airfoils and a Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) code for optimization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new linearization method has been used for chord and twist distributions by crossing tangent line through different points on them and the results have determined the best point along chord and twisting distribution which has higher total power coefficient in the linearization process.

TL;DR: In this article, an ant colony optimization algorithm has been used to optimize the geometry of a wind turbine and also investigate the influence of geometrical parameters on the performance of the turbine in 1% and 8% turbulence intensities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of the SDM under single frequency sinusoidal pitching motions is computed and the associated pitching moment coefficient damping is obtained using two methods of classical Fourier coefficients and multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of simulations are carried out to assess the viability of an oscillating deformable trailing-edge flap (DTEF) in load and dynamic stall (DS) control on a pitching wind turbine airfoil which experiences deep DS at Re
