Abstract:
A vortex generator for a wind turbine blade includes at least one fin including a suction surface and a pressure surface. Each of the at least one fin is configured such that, in at least a part of a height range of the fin, a maximum camber ratio cmax/C being a ratio of a maximum camber cmax to a fin chord length C decreases with distance from a root of the fin toward a tip portion of the fin.
