2. 6. Vehicle wakes in side wind

   Author : Magnus Urquhart; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; surrogate model; optimization; CFD; wind; crossflow; drag; yaw; cavity; wake; tomographic PIV; aerodynamics;

   Abstract : There is a global push to reduce the energy consumption of passenger vehicles with increasingly stringent targets and regulations. More than one-tenth of Europe's greenhouse gasses are due to passenger vehicles. The aerodynamic drag is a major contributor to energy consumption responsible for more than a quarter of the vehicle's energy usage. READ MORE

4. 7. Wind turbine simulations using spectral elements

   Author : Elektra Kleusberg; Dan Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Stefan Ivanell; Johan Meyers; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind turbine; wakes; wake interaction; computational fluid dynamics; actuator line method; spectral elements; free-stream turbulence; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Understanding the flow around wind turbines is a highly relevant research question due to the increased interest in harvesting energy from renewable sources. This thesis approaches the topic by means of numerical simulations using the actuator line method and the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the spectral element code Nek5000. READ MORE

6. 9. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes

   Author : Stefan S. A. Ivanell; Dan Henningson; Peinke Joachim; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Actuator Line Model; Actuator Disc Model; Wind Turbine Wake; CFD; LES; EllipSys3D; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : Numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations are performed to achieve a better understanding of the behaviour of wakes generated by wind turbines. The simulations are performed by combining the in-house developed computer code EllipSys3D with the actuator line and disc methodologies. READ MORE

7. 10. Experimental studies of wind turbine wakes : power optimisation and meandering

   Author : Davide Medici; Henrik Alfredsson; Martin O.L. Lansen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind energy; power optimisation; active control; yaw; vortex shedding; wake meandering; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : Wind tunnel studies of the wake behind model wind turbines with one, two and three blades have been made in order to get a better understanding of wake development as well as the possibility to predict the power output from downstream turbines working in the wake of an upstream one. Both two-component hot-wire anemometry and particle image velocimetry (PIV) have been used to map the flow field downstream as well as upstream the turbine. READ MORE
