Improved Lift for Thick Flatback Airfoils in the Inboard Blades of Large Wind Turbines

Thick airfoils are often used in the inboard sections of blades in commercial wind turbines. The main reason for this is to give the blade greater structural strength, but it is well known that thick airfoils degrade aerodynamic performance by stalling at relatively small angles of attack. The adopt...
