Abstract:
A blade for a rotor of a wind turbine is divided into a root region closest to the hub and an airfoil region with a lift generating profile furthest away from the hub and a transition region. A base part of the transition region has an axial induction factor, which without flow altering device deviates at least 5% from a target axial induction factor. A number of first flow altering devices are arranged so as to adjust the aerodynamic properties of a longitudinal segment of the transition region to substantially meet the target axial induction factor.
