Air Jets for Lift Control in Low Reynolds Number Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-28)The environmental and monetary cost of energy has renewed interest in horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). One problem with HAWT design is turbulent winds, which cause cyclic loading and reduced life. Controlling short-term ... -
Investing Flow over an Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers Using Novel Time-Resolved Surface Pressure Measurements
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-12)An aluminum NACA 0018 airfoil testbed was constructed with 95 static pressure taps and 25 embedded microphones to enable novel time-resolved measurements of surface pressure. The main objective of this investigation is to ... -
LES and FW-H Prediction of Aeroacoustic Noise for a SD 7037 Airfoil for Wind Turbine Applications
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2019-05-18)The aeroacoustic noise generated by wind turbines poses issues with the implementation of this renewable energy technology. The use of a fully analytical model for predicting airfoil noise could serve as a crucial tool in ...
