Leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades: Effects of blade surface curvature on rain droplet impingement kinematics
Verma, Amrit Shankar; Castro, Saullo GP; Jiang, Zhiyu; Hu, Weifei; Teuwen, Julie JE (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The issue of leading edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is a complex problem that reduces the aerodynamic efficiency of blades, and affects the overall cost of energy. Several research efforts are being made ... -
Numerical investigation of rain droplet impact on offshore wind turbine blades under different rainfall conditions: A parametric study
Verma, Amrit Shankar; Castro, Saullo GP; Jiang, Zhiyu; Teuwen, Julie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
A probabilistic long-term framework for site-specific erosionanalysis of wind turbine blades: A case study of 31 Dutch sites
Verma, Amrit; Jiang, Zhiyu; Ren, Zhengru; Caboni, Marco; Verhoef, Hans; Mijle-Meijer, Harald; Castro, Saullo GP; Teuwen, Julie JE (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Rain-induced leading-edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is associated with high repair and maintenance costs. The effects of LEE can be triggered in less than 1 to 2 years for some wind turbine sites, whereas ...
