Aerodynamic Analysis and Monitoring of the Vortec 7 Diffuser-augmented Wind Turbine
TL;DR: The Vortec 7 is the first full scale diffuser augmented wind turbine (DAWT) to be built as discussed by the authors, which is based on the best model as determined by wind tunnel tests on a host of various DAWT options performed by Grumman in the 1970's and early I980's.

Effect of shroud on the performance of horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbines
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the experimental measurements performed in a water tunnel on a 19.8 cm diameter horizontal axis hydrokinetic model turbine utilizing two shrouds and obtain a maximum power enhancement of 91% over the unshrouded turbine with one of the shrouds.
