Abstract: An airfoil with a tip cover surface treatment for reducing leakage flows, minimizing tip vortex size and penetration into main flow that will improve turbine efficiency. The surface treatment for the airfoil tip covers includes a series of concave shapes, such as grooves or holes. These grooves and holes will cause the leakage flow into separate flow paths within the cavities and generate more resistance to leakage flows through the airfoil tip clearance, thereby reducing the leakage mass flow and weakening tip vortex and its interaction with turbine main flows. The material removed from the tip cover provides the additional benefit of reducing the weight of the tip cover, thereby enhancing blade reliability.

Abstract: A wind turbine blade had a suction side surface and a pressure side surface. A plurality of vortex elements are formed on at least one of the suction side or the pressure side surfaces. The vortex elements have an upwardly inclined wind face and a downwardly inclined slip face, with the wind face and slip face meeting at a generally open-ended U-shaped ridge that defines side horns. The side horns decrease in height from a forward most portion of the ridge to the suction side surface or pressure side surface.
