The article "Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Leading-Edge Tubercles on Propeller Performance" can be found at this link, and another publication discussing a turbine blade structure model is available here. The author is currently working on a concept involving canal turbines, which have several advantages over wind turbines, such as unidirectional flow, constant flow rate, high electricity potential, higher power-to-discharge ratio, and easy maintenance. The proposed design includes a chord tip of 1.35 inches, a chord root of 2.7 inches, and a span of 20.625 inches. Recent updates include the addition of a spoiler rib, stringers, and brackets, as well as a basic CFD analysis. The turbine is designed to operate in canals with a water flow rate of 200 cusecs (5.663 cubic meters per second) at a depth of 1.5 meters and width of 15 meters. The lift force is 3.589 N, the drag force is 0.179 N, and the weight of the turbine is 350 grams (with an equivalent force of 3.43 N due to its aluminum alloy construction).
