Aeroelastic Characteristics of Rotor Blades of Last Stage of a Powerful Steam Turbine
Blades of powerful steam turbines are subjected to significant unsteady loads, which, in some cases, can lead to the appearance of self-excited oscillations or auto-oscillations.

On the Aeroelasticity of the Active Span and Passive Pitching Polymorphing Wing: A Parametric Study
This paper presents an aeroelastic analysis of a polymorphing wing capable of active span extension and passive pitch variation. The wing is split into two segments: an inboard segment responsible for span extension/retraction and an outboard segment ...

ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

Wind Turbine Model Validation Is Improved by High‐Resolution, Measurement‐Derived Inflows
ABSTRACT There is an increased need for accurate validation of turbine models used by original equipment manufacturers to fine‐tune prototypes and predict power performance and maintenance needs while avoiding costly warranty payouts. Perhaps the most substantial source of uncertainty in typical wind turbine model validation procedures is the use of ...

ABSTRACT In time‐marching dynamical simulations, treatment of contact forces in deformable bodies represented by finite element meshes requires a compromise between simulation fidelity and computational costs. External forces directly evaluated at the mesh nodes offer better computational performance at the cost of modelling fidelity.

MATHEMATICAL MODELING IN NON-LINEAR AEROELASTICITY PROBLEMS
The modern aircraft aeroelasticity problems solving are considered. Mathematical models of aeroelasticity joined by non-linear vortex methods of numerical aerodynamics are described for different objects.

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

This paper aims to provide a robust design approach for HAWTs operating in shear flow. This study fills a critical research gap by integrating BEM and vortex theories for blade design in non‐homogeneous inflow conditions. The authors of the paper made an effort to develop and test an experimentally unsophisticated model of a turbine working in shear ...
