1. 21. Wakes behind wind turbines - Studies on tip vortex evolution and stability

   Författare :Ylva Odemark; Jens Fransson; Jens Madsen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind power; aerodynamics; hot-wire anemometry; vortex dynamics;

   Sammanfattning : The increased fatigue loads and decreased power output of a wind turbine placed in the wake of another turbine is a well-known problem when building new wind power farms. In order to better estimate the total power output of a wind power farm, knowledge about the development and stability of wind turbine wakes is crucial. LÄS MER

3. 22. Aerodynamic Investigation of Leading Edge Contouring and External Cooling on a Transonic Turbine Vane

   Författare :Ranjan Saha; Torsten Fransson; Jens Fridh; Tony Arts; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gas turbine; aerodynamics; secondary flow; external cooling; trailing edge cooling; film cooling; aerodynamic loss; high pressure turbine; nozzle guide vane; Aerospace Engineering; Flyg- och rymdteknik; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Sammanfattning : Efficiency improvement in turbomachines is an important aspect in reducing the use of fossil-based fuel and thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions in order to achieve a sustainable future. Gas turbines are mainly fossil-based turbomachines powering aviation and land-based power plants. LÄS MER

4. 23. Numerical and Experimental Investigations on Aerodynamic and Thermal Aspects of Rotating Wheels

   Författare :Alexey Vdovin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ventilation resistance; wind tunnel; brake cooling; ride height; aerodynamic moment; CFD; rim design; vehicle aerodynamics;

   Sammanfattning : With todays and future environmental legislations for CO2 and other emission gases, all vehicle manufacturers are forced to further develop tools and methods to make their vehicles more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. One option to achieve this is to reduce the aerodynamic resistance since it has a significant influence on the vehicle fuel consumption, especially for velocities higher than 50 km/h. LÄS MER

5. 24. Aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : Development of Simulation Tools and Experiments

   Författare :Eduard Dyachuk; Hans Bernhoff; Sandra Eriksson; Anders Goude; Mac Gaunaa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :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;

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

7. 25. Aerodynamics simulations of ground vehicles in unsteady crosswind

   Författare :Tristan Favre; Gunilla Efraimsson; Michael Leschziner; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Detached-Eddy Simulations; Crosswind; Aerodynamics; ;

   Sammanfattning : Ground vehicles, both on roads or on rail, are sensitive to crosswinds and the handling, travelling speeds or in some cases, safety can be affected. Full modelling of the crosswind stability of a vehicle is a demanding task as the nature of the disturbance, the wind gust, is complex and the aerodynamics, vehicle dynamics and driver reactions interact with each other.
