    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; unsteady aerodynamic load; atmospheric turbulence; fatigue loads; Free wake model; forest canopy; wind turbine; vortex method; large-eddy simulation;

    Abstract : Wind power is currently one of the cleanest and widely distributed renewable energy sources serving as an alternative to fossil fuel generated electricity. Exponential growth of wind turbines all around the world makes it apt for different research disciplines. READ MORE

  4. 17. 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

  5. 18. Active Flow Control for Reducing Drag on Trucks: from Concept to Full Scale Testing

    Abstract : There is no doubt that road vehicle transportation is needed to improve efficiency, to reduce power consumption and to contribute to a sustainable mobility. Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in this, and its optimization can have a significant impact on fuel efficiency. READ MORE

  6. 19. Tyre aerodynamics of passenger vehicles

    Author : Erik Josefsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; drag; wind tunnel; tyres; aerodynamics; wheels;

    Abstract : To decelerate climate change and limit global warming, there is a need for reducing the environmental impact of vehicles, which can be achieved by increasing their energy efficiency. For a passenger vehicle, one of the largest resistive forces is aerodynamic drag. READ MORE

  7. 20. Design of an Experimental Facility for Investi- gating the Flow in a Low Pressure Turbine Exit Structure

    Author : Borja Rojo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbine Rear Frame; Turbine Exhaust Case; Experimental; Exit Guide Vane; Engine Exit Structure; Aerodynamics; Outlet Guide Vane; Gas Turbine; Wind Tunnel; Heat transfer.; CFD; Turbine Rear Structure;

    Abstract : This report presents the design of a turbine facility for investigating the flow in the EES located at Chalmers University of Technology. The EES is the structure located downstream of the LPT in a jet engine. In this rig, in order to generate realistic inlet boundary conditions for the EES, an LPT stage is located upstream of the EES.
