Wind turbine wakes on escarpments: A wind-tunnel study

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar

In this study, the wake behind a wind turbine located on an escarpment is investigated using particle-image velocimetry in a wind tunnel. Five different escarpment models are used, which vary in the windward side shape from forward facing steps (FFS) with ...

Validation of edge turbulence codes against the TCV-X21 diverted L-mode reference case

Nicola Vianello, Davide Galassi, Paolo Ricci, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Hugo De Oliveira, Maurizio Giacomin, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Nicola Offeddu

Self-consistent full-size turbulent-transport simulations of the divertor and scrape-off-layer (SOL) of existing tokamaks have recently become feasible. This enables the direct comparison of turbulence simulations against experimental measurements. In this ...

Sharp turning maneuvers with avian-inspired wing and tail morphing

Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest, Enrico Ajanic

Flight in dense environments, such as forests and cities requires drones to perform sharp turns. Although fixed-wing drones are aerodynamically and energetically more efficient than multicopters, they require a comparatively larger area to turn and thus ar ...

Wind Estimation with Multirotor UAVs

Jan Skaloud

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have benefited from a tremendous increase in popularity over the past decade, which has inspired their application toward many novel and unique use cases. One of them is the use of UAVs in meteorological research, in particu ...

Wind‐Induced Hypolimnetic Upwelling Between the Multi‐Depth Basins of Lake Geneva During Winter: An Overlooked Deepwater Renewal Mechanism?

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Combining field observations, 3D hydrodynamic modeling, and particle tracking, we investigated wind-induced interbasin exchange between the Petit Lac (PL) (depth 75 m) and Grand Lac (GL) (depth 309 m) basins of Lake Geneva in early winter. Following a stro ...
