Abstract: The motion of bubbles in upflow in a vertical rotating closed channel is examined numerically, using a front tracking/finite volume method. The flow is driven upward by a constant pressure gradient. The Reynolds number is ...

Abstract: A computational model of a massless kite that produces power in an airborne wind energy (AWE) system is presented. AWE systems use tethered kites at high altitudes to extract energy from the wind and are being considered ...

Abstract: The dynamic motion of floating wind turbines is studied using numerical simulations. The full threedimensional Navier–Stokes equations are solved on a regular structured grid using a level set method for the free surface ...

Abstract: The dynamic motion of tethered undersea kites (TUSK) is studied using numerical simulations. TUSK systems consist of a rigid winged-shaped kite moving in an ocean current. The kite is connected by tethers to a platform on ...
