Effects of leading edge slat on the aerodynamic performance of low Reynolds number horizontal axis wind turbine
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the use of a slat near the leading edge of an airfoil to delay or completely cancel separation and thus improved the performance of small wind turbines, in addition to lowering the cost of the blade by reducing the used material.

Semidiscrete Central-Upwind Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws and Hamilton--Jacobi Equations
TL;DR: New Godunov-type semidiscrete central schemes for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws and Hamilton--Jacobi equations are introduced, based on the use of more precise information about the local speeds of propagation, and are called central-upwind schemes.
