Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Leading-edge Tubercles on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Hydrofoils at Low and High Reynolds Numbers

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Leading-edge Tubercles on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Hydrofoils at Low and High Reynolds Numbers

The tubercles on the pectoral flippers of humpback whales are thought to give superior manoeuvrability to these marine mammals. Numerical simulation of the flow over hydrofoils with and without leading-edge tubercles were conducted to test the protuberances’ effect on the hydrofoils hydrodynamic per...
