RISOn the Application of Bio-Inspired Sea-Pen Blades in a Savonius Wind Rotor: A Three-Dimensional Computational Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The drag-based Savonius-type wind rotors are usually preferred to harvest wind energy at low-wind velocity conditions. These Savonius rotors are characterized by their compatibility with urban environments and small-scale ...
Application of Bio-Inspired Dihedral Wingtip Attachments on a Flat-Plate Wing for Micro Aerial Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThis study explores the aerodynamic performance of flat-plate wings equipped with
dihedral wingtip attachments (winglets) meant for micro aerial vehicle (MAV) applications
that operate at low Reynolds number (Re). ...
Predicting the Optimum Performance of a Vertical-Axis Savonius Wind Rotor With Parametric Modeling Using Artificial Neural Network and Golden Section Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper explores the function approximation characteristics of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) by implementing it on the vertical-axis Savonius wind rotor technology. In this regard, a suitable experimental dataset ...
Evolving a Bio-Inspired Blade Shape of the Drag-Based Vertical-Axis Wind Rotor Derived From Orange Sea Pen (Ptilosarcus Gurneyi)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inspired by the polyp leaf of the Orange sea pen (Ptilosarcus gurneyi), a novel blade shape of the Savonius vertical-axis wind rotor is developed. The similarities between the aerodynamic and the hydrodynamic aspects of ...
Effect of Capped Vents on Torque Distribution of a Semicircular-Bladed Savonius Wind Rotor
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To address the problem of the imminent energy crisis, pollution from fossil fuels, and global warming, it is necessary to incorporate renewable technologies. In that context, the drag-based Savonius wind turbine has ...
