Abstract: In order to comprehend the flow characteristics of both controlled and uncontrolled SD7062 wind turbine airfoils with local flexible membrane material throughout a variety of angles of attack at a Reynolds number of 1.05 × 105, an experimental investigation was conducted. The time-dependent force measurement, the hot-wire experiment with a boundary layer and glue-on probes, and the oil-flow visualization technique were all utilized in the present study to measure the flow over the airfoil and examine the laminar-turbulent transition, laminar separation bubble, and the impact of a special flow control method that uses flexibility. A comprehensive intermittency analysis by utilizing hot-wire results was employed to obtain the flow physics effects of the local flexibility the first in the literature. The key results of the experiment demonstrated that the stall was delayed from α = 10° to 12° by the local flexibility. The hot-wire results are dedicated to laminar, transitional and turbulent regions and the transition phenomena at different locations over the suction surface of the airfoil in the analysis graphs. As demonstrated by the results of the oil-flow visualization experiment, in the uncontrolled case, the laminar separation bubble formed over the airfoil at α = 8° between x/c = 0.16 and x/c = 0.42. The use of flexible membrane material over the airfoil provided that the oscillation of this material triggered the transition to turbulence and a bypass transition, which resulted in the reattached flow.
