Performance analysis of the airfoil-slat arrangements for hydro and wind turbine applications

Standard airfoils historically used for wind and hydrokinetic turbines had maximum lift coefficients of around 1.3 at stall angles of attack, which is about 12°. At these conditions, the minimum flow velocities to generate electric power were about 7 m/s and 2 m/s for the wind turbine and the hydrok...
