Insight into Damping Sources in Turbines

open access: yesFatigue of Aircraft Structures, 2023
Blade vibrations in aircraft engines are a significant challenge that must be overcome during the design and development of modern turbine engines.

Aerodynamic Study of a NACA 64418 Rectangular Wing under Forced Pitching Motions

open access: yesFluids, 2021
The aerodynamic behavior of a pitching NACA 64418 rectangular wing was experimentally studied in a subsonic wind tunnel. The wing had a chord c = 0.5 m, a span which covered the distance between the two parallel tunnel walls and an axis of rotation 0.35 ...

Stability of suspension bridge I: Aerodynamic and structural damping

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, 1997
In this paper we consider a few dynamic models of suspension bridge described by partial differential equations with linear and nonlinear couplings. We study analytically the stability properties of these models and the relative effectiveness of aerodynamic and structural damping.

Sound radiation in turbulent channel flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Lighthill’s acoustic analogy is formulated for turbulent channel flow with pressure as the acoustic variable, and integrated over the channel width to produce a two-dimensional inhomogeneous wave equation.

An investigation into the mechanical damping characteristics of catenary contact wires and their effect on aerodynamic galloping instability

open access: yes, 2003
Measurement of the damped oscillation of a section of the UK East Coast Main Line (ECML) catenary/contact wire system was undertaken, and the natural frequency and mechanical damping were found to be 1.4Hz and 0.05 respectively. This information was used

Estimation of three-dimensional aerodynamic damping using CFD [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Aeroelastic phenomena of stall flutter are the result of the negative aerodynamic damping associated with separated flow. From this basis, an investigation has been conducted to estimate the aerodynamic damping from a time-marching aeroelastic ...

Along-Wind Aerodynamic Damping of Wind Turbine Towers: Determination by Wind Tunnel Tests and Impact on Tower Lifetime

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
As wind turbines become larger and their towers more slender, aeroelastic effects play a bigger role in the wind turbine’s dynamic behavior. This study focuses on the along-wind aerodynamic damping of wind turbine towers, which has been determined by ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Identification of functional murine mitochondrial formyl peptides and their effects on myeloid‐derived suppressor cell generation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

An improved theory in the determination of aerodynamic damping for a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT)

open access: yes, 2022
The aerodynamic damping reflects the aero-structure interaction and is intrinsically involved in a fully coupled turbine. However, it is still of great importance to theoretically quantify the aerodynamic damping of a HAWT in some cases.
