RISImplementation, Optimization, and Validation of a Nonlinear Lifting Line Free Vortex Wake Module Within the Wind Turbine Simulation Code qblade
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The development of the next generation of large multimegawatt wind turbines presents exceptional challenges to the applied aerodynamic design tools. Because their operation is often outside the validated range of current ...
Combined Numerical and Experimental Study on the Use of Gurney Flaps for the Performance Enhancement of NACA0021 Airfoil in Static and Dynamic Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Effects of Airfoil's Polar Data in the Stall Region on the Estimation of Darrieus Wind Turbine Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Interest in vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) is experiencing a renaissance after most major research projects came to a standstill in the mid 1990s, in favor of conventional horizontal-axis turbines (HAWTs). Nowadays, ...
Three-Dimensional Aerodynamic Analysis of a Darrieus Wind Turbine Blade Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Lifting Line Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the rapid progress in high-performance computing and the availability of increasingly large computational resources, Navier–Stokes (NS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) now offers a cost-effective, versatile, and ...
Static and Dynamic Analysis of a NACA 0021 Airfoil Section at Low Reynolds Numbers Based on Experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wind industry needs airfoil data for ranges of angle of attack (AoA) much wider than those of aviation applications, since large portions of the blades may operate in stalled conditions for a significant part of their ...
