Abstract
The study presented the development of a smart rotor configuration with Adaptive Trailing Edge Flaps (ATEF) for active load alleviation. The smart rotor performance is evaluated by means of simulations with the aero-servoelastic code HAWC2, reproducing the wind field conditions specified by the IEC standard. The ATEFlap aerodynamic model is implemented in the simulation code to account for the steady and dynamic effects of the flap deflection on the aerodynamic forces and pitching moment of 2D airfoil sections; a good agreement between the model and computational fluid dynamic simulations is reported both in attached and separated flow conditions.
