Convergence, Node Collocation and the Disc-Edge Singularity of a Vortex-Ring/Vortex-Cylinder Free-Wake Model for the Uniformly Loaded Actuator Disc
This version is not peer-reviewed. You are already at the latest version Free-wake vortex-ring models are the simplest way of describing a uniformly loaded actuator disc consistently with the Euler equations, i.e. including the radial velocity that accompanies slipstream contraction or expansion.
Development and Measurement of a Very Thick Aerodynamic Profile for Wind Turbine Blades
1. Introduction 1.1. State of the Art Over the past three decades, advancements in wind energy technology have been substantial, largely attributed to the efforts of many scientists and companies. These advancements have resulted in significant reductions in specific electricity production costs, improved overall plant performance, and enhanced efficiency [1].
Wind Tunnel Tests of a Thick Wind Turbine Airfoil
1 Introduction The development of large wind turbines in the last decades has prompted the creation of new airfoil shapes, dedicated to high-aspect ratio blades, whose design point and characteristics are different from existing airfoils. In particular, these airfoils are generally much thicker, with thickness-to-chord ratios in the order of 20% to 50%, making them more sensitive to early separation of the boundary layer.
Introduction to Wind Turbine Aerodynamics
2024 | Buch This book is an introduction to wind turbine aerodynamics for professionals and students with a diverse range of backgrounds. It is a self-contained textbook that shows how to progress from the basics of fluid mechanics to modern wind turbine blade design. It presents the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and inflow conditions, as well as extensive information on theories describing the aerodynamics of wind turbines.
