Wind turbines are generally cost-effective, which is why they're one of the fastest-growing sources of energy in the world. For years, they've more or less been built the same way: with one rotor ...
If you're looking to lower your own electricity bill, installing solar panels is one of the most effective tools available.
Identifying eigenmodes of averaged small-amplitude perturbations to turbulent channel flow. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019; 875: 758 DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2019.520 ...
Prediction of fatigue life for wind turbines grouped together in wind farms requires a knowledge of the turbulence structure in turbine wakes. In this paper, a theoretical relationship for predicting ...
For instance, a novel quantification technique has been developed to map the transition to turbulent flow with unprecedented accuracy, offering insights into both the spatial and temporal ...
A complicating factor for tidal turbines in the bay is turbulence. The water flow in the bay is not smooth like the water flowing over the top of a waterfall. It's more like the bottom of the falls, ...
CFD is a valuable tool for wind turbine design and optimization; however, it has some limitations and challenges like computational cost, mesh quality, turbulence modeling, and validation.
Nortek has announced that the Generation 2 version of the Vector velocimeter is now available. The Generation 2 Vector is ...
To investigate the 3D flow and turbulence filed in situ, field campaigns were performed in three different desilting chambers in the context of the present work. Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV) ...
I used this approach for designing a turbulent flow plenum chamber with a temperature-controlled, three-terminal regulator driving fan and verified it with smoke speed measurements. The results were ...
