1. Wind-turbine wakes - Effects of yaw, shear and turbine interaction
Sammanfattning : The actuator-line method is used together with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations to investigate the flow development behind wind turbines. Initial investigations focus on providing a thorough validation of the implementation in the spectral-element flow solver Nek5000 against existing numerical and experimental datasets. LÄS MER
2. Aerodynamic Studies of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines using the Actuator Line Model
Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the unsteady aerodynamics involved in the operation of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The main focus is to represent and understand the most relevant phenomena within the resulting flow pattern as the wake structure, loads on the different turbine components and the performance of the rotor.

3. Wafer-level heterogeneous integration of MEMS actuators
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents methods for the wafer-level integration of shape memory alloy (SMA) and electrostatic actuators to functionalize MEMS devices. The integration methods are based on heterogeneous integration, which is the integration of different materials and technologies. LÄS MER
4. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes and wake interaction : Optimization and control
Sammanfattning : In the present thesis the wake flow behind wind turbines is analyzed numerically using large-eddy simulations. The wind turbine rotors are modeled by using either the actuator disc method or the actuator line method in which the blades are represented by body forces computed with airfoil data. LÄS MER
5. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes
Sammanfattning : Numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations are performed to achieve a better understanding of the behaviour of wakes generated by wind turbines. The simulations are performed by combining the in-house developed computer code EllipSys3D with the actuator line and disc methodologies. LÄS MER
