Effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration of an elongated bluff body

Guiyue Duan

Wind-tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically-supported elongated bluff body. Solid wind barriers of various heights were fixed in the leading edge to ad ...

Stall Delay and Leading-Edge Suction for a Pitching Airfoil with Trailing-Edge Flap

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday, Guosheng He

The flow around a pitching NACA0015 airfoil with an oscillating trailing-edge flap is experimentally investigated to characterize the influence of the flap kinematics on the development of dynamic stall. We specifically focus on the timing of the stall dev ...

Programmable Aerodynamic Drag on Active Dimpled Cylinders

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Mark Andrew Guttag

This study demonstrates that the aerodynamic drag profile of a patterned deformable cylinder at high Reynolds numbers can be programmed, on demand, by modifying its topography through pneumatic actuation. The samples used in the experiments comprise a rigi ...

A New Miniature Wind Turbine for Wind Tunnel Experiments. Part II: Wake Structure and Flow Dynamics

Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah

An optimized three-bladed horizontal-axis miniature wind turbine, called WiRE-01, with the rotor diameter of 15 cm is designed and fully characterized in Part I of this study. In the current part of the study, we investigate the interaction of the turbine ...

Instability of wind turbine wakes immersed in the atmospheric boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, François Gallaire, Francesco Viola, Giacomo Valerio Iungo

In this work a technique capable to investigate the near-wake stability properties of a wind turbine immersed in the atmospheric boundary layer is presented. Specifically, a 2D local spatial stability analysis is developed in order to take into account typ ...

Adjustment of Turbulent Boundary-Layer Flow to Idealized Urban Surfaces: A Large-Eddy Simulation Study

Fernando Porté Agel, Wai Chi Cheng

Large-eddy simulations (LES) are performed to simulate the atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) flow through idealized urban canopies represented by uniform arrays of cubes in order to better understand atmospheric flow over rural-to-urban surface transitions. ...

Wind sheltering of a lake by a tree canopy or bluff topography

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort

[1] A model is developed to quantify the wind sheltering of a lake by a tree canopy or a bluff. The experiment-based model predicts the wind-sheltering coefficient a priori, without calibration, and is useful for one-dimensional (1-D) lake hydrodynamic and ...

A component-based software framework for hybrid real-time and best-effort embedded applications

Frédéric Pont

Embedded systems play an increasing role in our society. From consumer electronics to driving assistance in cars, from medical devices to space exploration, they are ubiquitous. To better assist human beings, embedded systems become more complex, and more ...
