  2. 1. Development of Vortex Filament Method for Aerodynamic Loads on Rotor Blades

    Author : Hamidreza Abedi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lifting line; vortex lattice method; free wake; rotor blade; prescribed wake; lifting surface; aerodynamic load; wind turbine;

    Abstract : Wind power is currently one of the most reliable new energy sources serving as an alternative tofossil fuel generated electricity and is known as a widely distributed clean and renewable sourceof energy. It is now the world’s fastest growing energy source and has also become one of themost rapidly expanding industries. READ MORE

  4. 2. Birds in the Flow: Flight Mechanics, Wake Dynamics and Flight Performance

    Author : Mikael Rosén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Djurekologi; Animal ecology; Eleonora s falcon.; hunting; optimum wingspan; tail posture; wingbeat kinematics; wake topology; DPIV; flight performance; wake dynamics; flight mechanics; wind tunnel; Flight; bird;

    Abstract : I share my fascination of bird flight with many others, and here I summarise my thesis on the subject. This thesis emphasises the mechanics of bird flight by focusing on flight mechanics, wake dynamics and flight performance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Numerical study on instability and interaction of wind turbine wakes

    Author : Sasan Sarmast; Dan S. Henningson; Per-Åge Krogstad; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind Turbines; CFD; EllipSys3D; Actuator Line; Stability; Wake; Vortex Model; SRA - E-Science SeRC ; SRA - E-vetenskap SeRC ;

    Abstract : The optimization of new generation of the wind farms is dependent on our understanding of wind turbine wake development, wake dynamics and the interaction of the wakes. The overall goal of the optimization is decreasing the fatigue loading and increasing the power production of the wind farms. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analysis of Flow Structures in Wake Flows for Train Aerodynamics

    Author : Tomas W. Muld; Dan Henningson; Gunilla Efraimsson; Shia-Hui Peng; KTH; []

    Abstract : Train transportation is a vital part of the transportation system of today anddue to its safe and environmental friendly concept it will be even more impor-tant in the future. The speeds of trains have increased continuously and withhigher speeds the aerodynamic effects become even more important. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Turbulence Modelling for Bilge Vortices: A Test of Eight Models for Three Cases

    Author : Urban Svennberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wake; turbulence modelling; nonlinear eddy-viscosity model; bilge vortices; ship flow; jet; Navier-Stokes equation; two-equation model; Reynolds stress model; vortex;

    Abstract : This work is a test, in three steps, of turbulence models for the calculation of the flow field around ships. Eight models ranging from k-e and k-w models to a Reynolds-stress model (RSM) are tested. READ MORE
