Abstract
A noise reducing wind turbine blade is disclosed. The wind turbine blade includes a blade body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a suction side, and a pressure side. The wind turbine blade further includes a noise reducer disposed on a portion of the blade body extending partially upstream from the trailing edge for modifying airflow over the blade body effective to reduce acoustic emission.
