  2. 1. Fluid Mechanics of Vertical Axis Turbines : Simulations and Model Development

    Author : Anders Goude; Olov Ågren; Carlos Simão Ferreira; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Wind power; Marine current power; Vertical axis turbine; Wind farm; Channel flow; Simulations; Vortex model; Streamtube model; Control system; Graphics processing unit; CUDA; Fast multipole method; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Two computationally fast fluid mechanical models for vertical axis turbines are the streamtube and the vortex model. The streamtube model is the fastest, allowing three-dimensional modeling of the turbine, but lacks a proper time-dependent description of the flow through the turbine. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : Development of Simulation Tools and Experiments

    Author : Eduard Dyachuk; Hans Bernhoff; Sandra Eriksson; Anders Goude; Mac Gaunaa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : wind power; vertical axis turbine; H-rotor; simulations; streamtube model; vortex model; dynamic stall; measurements; blade; force; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This thesis combines measurements with the development of simulation tools for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Numerical models of aerodynamic blade forces are developed and validated against experiments. The studies were made on VAWTs which were operated at open sites. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fluid mechanical simulations and development for vertical axis turbines

    Author : Anders Goude; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aerodynamics of vertical axis turbines is typically studied using streamtube, vortex or CFD models. This thesis focuses on the first two models, which are the computationally faster ones. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analytical Aerodynamic Simulation Tools for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Author : Paul Deglaire; Hans Bernhoff; Olov Ågren; Staffan Lundstrom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vertical axis turbine; vortex flows; conformal mapping; analytical aerodynamics; potential flows; fast multipole methods; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik; Teknisk fysik; Engineering Science;

    Abstract : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is today the fastest growing solution to reduce CO2 emissions in the electric energy mix. Upwind horizontal axis wind turbine with three blades has been the preferred technical choice for more than two decades. This horizontal axis concept is today widely leading the market. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Multistage Analysis of Transonic Compressors: From Axisymmetric Throughflow Time-Marching to Unsteady Three-Dimensional Methods

    Author : Stephane Baralon; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shock; time-marching; deterministic; average-passage; multistage; fan; axisymmetric; 3D; unsteady; transonic; viscous; body force; stress; singularity; perturbation; throughflow; mixing-plane; modelling; finite-volume;

    Abstract : A throughflow time-marching finite-volume solver, capable of computing viscous transonic multistage compressor flows with embedded shocks, is presented. The behavior of the blade model, based on the blade mean surface flow tangency condition, was investigated for transonic flows. READ MORE
