Development of a Fluidic Actuator for Adaptive Flow Control on a Thick Wind Turbine Airfoil
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wind turbines are exposed to unsteady incident flow conditions such as gusts or tower interference. These cause a change in the blades' local angle of attack, which often leads to flow separation at the inner rotor sections. ...
Optical Measurement of Local and Global Transfer Functions for Equivalence Ratio Fluctuations in a Turbulent Swirl Flame
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Equivalence ratio fluctuations are known to be one of the key factors controlling thermoacoustic stability in lean premixed gas turbine combustors. The mixing and thus the spatiotemporal evolution of these perturbations ...
Shockless Explosion Combustion: Experimental Investigation of a New Approximate Constant Volume Combustion Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Approximate constant volume combustion (aCVC) is a promising way to achieve a step change in the efficiency of gas turbines. This work investigates a recently proposed approach to implement aCVC in a gas turbine combustion ...
