Abstract: The actuator line method (ALM), combining a lumped-parameter representation of the rotating blades with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) resolution of the turbine flow field, stands out among the modern simulation ...

Abstract: The efficiency gains observed in a pair of closely spaced Darrieus turbines suggest the deployment of multiple turbines as an appealing solution for wind and, particularly, hydrokinetic applications, where the inflow ...

Abstract: Power augmentation devices in wind energy applications have been receiving increasing interest from both the scientific and the industrial community. In particular, Gurney flaps (GFs) showed a great potential thanks to the ...
