The article "Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Leading-Edge Tubercles on Propeller Performance" can be found at this link: https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/1.C034845. Additionally, a relevant publication is available here: http://www.iaeng.org/publication/WCE2018/WCE2018_pp586-595.pdf. A VAWT has been designed for HAWT mode, which is expected to be 20% more efficient than traditional designs. Although the rectangular wing results were promising, this particular blade has not been tested against legacy ones. This design is meant for educational use only and should not be printed for commercial purposes. The designer will not be held responsible for any injuries resulting from its use, as it remains untested.
