2. 1. Scaling techniques using CFD and wind tunnel measurements for use in aircraft design

   Author : Karl Pettersson; Arthur Rizzi; Henrik Alfredsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; wind tunnel; scaling; Reynolds number effect; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the problems of scaling aerodynamic data from wind tunnel conditions to free flight. The main challenges when this scaling should be performed is how the model support, wall interference and the potentially lower Reynolds number in the wind tunnel should be corrected. READ MORE

4. 2. Investigations of Flow Conditions in an Automotive Wind Tunnel

   Author : Emil Ljungskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind tunnel; Ground simulation; Tangential blowing; CFD simulations; Slotted walls;

   Abstract : As vehicle manufacturers seek to shorten the development time of new models, wind tunnel testing of prototype vehicles needs to be partially replaced by virtual simulations. However, this requires thorough validation of the virtual methods, which is done by comparison to wind tunnel tests. READ MORE

5. 3. Evaluation and modeling of the flow in a slotted wall wind tunnel

   Author : Emil Ljungskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD Simulations; Ground Simulation; Uncertainty Quantification; Wind Tunnel; Tangential Blowing; Flow Uniformity; Slotted Walls;

   Abstract : As vehicle manufacturers strive to shorten the development time of new models, an increasing share of the aerodynamic development work is shifted from wind tunnel testing of prototype vehicles to numerical simulations of virtual models. However, comparing measurements from the wind tunnel with numerical simulation data is not straightforward due to several interference effects occurring between the wind tunnel and the tested vehicle.

6. 4. Wind power wake modelling : Development and application of an actuator disc method for industrial utilization

   Author : Nikolaos Simisiroglou; Stefan Ivanell; Thorsten Lutz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wind power; Offshore wind farm; Wakes; Actuator Disc Method ACD ; Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD ; Reynolds Average Navier–Stokes RANS ; WindSim; PHOENICS;

   Abstract : As a wind turbine extracts energy from the wind it creates a region downstream where the wind velocity is decreased and the urbulence intensity is increased, this region is commonly called the wake region. Today’s wind farms include a large number of wind turbines position in tight layouts. READ MORE

7. 5. 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
