RISAn Experimental Study of the Aerodynamics and Performance of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine in a Confined and Unconfined Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a wide experimental study on an Htype vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) carried out at the Politecnico di Milano. The experiments were carried out in a largescale wind tunnel, where wind ...
Time-Resolved Experimental Characterization of the Wakes Shed by H-Shaped and Troposkien Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the aerodynamics of two vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are discussed, on the basis of a wide set of experiments performed at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. A H-shaped and a Troposkien Darrieus ...
An Experimental Study of the Aerodynamic Forcing Function in a 1.5 Steam Turbine Stage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The usual ways to measure the aerodynamic forcing function are complex and expensive. The aim of this work is to evaluate the forces acting on the blades using a relatively simpler experimental methodology based on a ...
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Axial Gap Variation in High-Pressure Steam Turbine Stages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work aims at investigating the impact of axial gap variation on aerodynamic performance of a high-pressure steam turbine stage. Numerical and experimental campaigns were conducted on a 1.5-stage of a reaction steam ...
