Nonlinear Reduced-Order Models for Aerodynamic Lift of Oscillating Airfoils2
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the present study, setting Strouhal number as the control parameter, we perform numerical simulations for the flow over oscillating NACA-0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number of 1000. This study reveals that aerodynamic ...
Reduced Order Modeling of Torque on a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine at Varying Tip Speed Ratios
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Verticalaxis wind turbine (VAWT) has received significant attention due to its application in urban environment. Torque produced by VAWT determines its efficiency and power output. In this paper, we develop a reducedorder ...
Geometric Characteristics of Flapping Foils for Enhanced Propulsive Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The shape of a foil undergoing a combined pitching heaving motion is critical to its design in applications that demand high efficiency and thrust. This study focuses on understanding of how the shape of a foil affects its ...
