Dr Yang Chen has successfully completed her PhD project on Fluidic and Fluid-Structure Interaction Control for Wind Turbine Blades. She computationally researched morphing blade sections and leading edge fluid injection to improve the aerodynamic performance of small wind turbines. Further information on the leading edge fluid injection is given on the link below
