A small biomimetic horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) with tubercles was analyzed using the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory. Calculation frameworks based from the Original BEM Theory and three (3) other brake state models (Wilson-Walker Method, Glauert’s Empirical Formula, and Buhl’s Theory) we...
