  • Publication number: 20220112874
    Abstract: A rotor blade for a wind power installation, which extends in a longitudinal direction with a profile course from a blade connector to a blade tip, wherein the profile course contains at least one profile, comprising: a suction side and a pressure side, a relative profile thickness of greater than 25%, a profile chord, which extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the profile and has a length which defines the profile depth, a mean line which extends at least partially below the profile chord, a convex region which extends on the suction side from the trailing edge, and a convex region which extends on the pressure side from the trailing edge, wherein the convex region on the pressure side defines a rounded transition region of the pressure side to the trailing edge.

  • Publication number: 20220025847
    Abstract: A rotor blade for a rotor, in particular of a wind power installation, having a rotor-blade length constituted between a root region and a rotor-blade tip, a rotor-blade depth constituted between a leading edge and a blunt trailing edge, a rotor-blade thickness constituted between a pressure side and a suction side, a suction-side trailing-edge region extending on the suction side and/or a pressure-side trailing-edge region extending on the pressure side, the suction-side trailing-edge region and/or the pressure-side trailing-edge region extending from the blunt trailing edge in the direction of the leading edge with an extent of less than 30%, in particular less than 20%, of the chord, and the suction-side trailing-edge region and/or the pressure-side trailing-edge region having at least one eddy generator.

  • Publication number: 20210222671
    Abstract: A rotor blade, with a suction side and a pressure side, for a wind turbine, having a rotor blade root of a hub region for attaching the rotor blade to a rotor hub, a rotor blade tip, which is arranged on a side, facing away from the rotor blade root, of a tip region, at least one vortex generator, which is arranged between the rotor blade root and the rotor blade tip, wherein the at least one vortex generator comprises swirl elements with a length and a height, which are arranged one next to the other in a longitudinal direction of the rotor blade and are in each case oriented at an angle to a main flow direction of the rotor blade, wherein, in the longitudinal direction of the rotor blade, the swirl elements have a lateral spacing to one another. A variation in the geometry of the swirl elements is realized in a manner dependent on a respective distance between the arrangement of the swirl elements and the rotor blade root.

  • Publication number: 20210079886
    Abstract: A rotor blade of a wind turbine, wherein the rotor blade has in particular a splitter plate, which is arranged on the blunt trailing edge of the rotor blade. The splitter plate comprises: a root edge, wherein the root edge is arranged on, in particular along, the trailing edge below a transition from the suction side into the trailing edge, an end edge, wherein the end edge forms a free edge, and a surface between the root edge and the end edge, wherein the surface has at least one curved part between the root edge and the end edge, and at least one part of the surface lies in the shear layer generated by the suction side.
