Simulated pilot-in-the-loop testing of handling qualities of the flexible wing aircraft

open access: yesAviation, 2020
This article aims to indicate the differences between rigid and flexible wing aircraft flying (FQ) and handling (HQ) qualities. The Simulation Framework for Flexible Aircraft was used to provide a generic cockpit environment and a piloted mathematical ...

Idealized Offshore Low‐Level Jets for Turbine Structural Impact Considerations

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Low‐level jets (LLJs) describe conditions in which the wind speed reaches a local maximum with respect to altitude near the surface; they have been observed intermittently in the US mid‐Atlantic offshore environment. LLJs pose unique operating conditions for future wind turbines operating in the region, such as negative shear and locally ...

Numerical method for an assessment of steady and motion-excited flowfields in a transonic cascade wind tunnel

open access: yesJournal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society, 2017
This article presents a numerical method and its application for an assessment of the flow field inside a wind tunnel. A structured computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) solver with overset mesh technique is developed in order to simulate geometrically ...

Non‐Linear Reduced Order Modelling of Transonic Potential Flows for Fast Aerodynamic Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 2, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This work presents a physics‐based reduced order modelling (ROM) framework for the efficient simulation of steady transonic potential flows around aerodynamic configurations. The approach leverages proper orthogonal decomposition and a least‐squares Petrov‐Galerkin (LSPG) projection to construct intrusive ROMs for the full potential equation ...

Hierarchical Response Control Method for Voltage Support in DFIGs Considering Fatigue Loads

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes a hierarchical response control (HRC) method to address the increased fatigue load on wind turbines during reactive power support for grid voltage stability. By establishing a fatigue sensitivity model and dynamically adjusting control parameters, the method optimally allocates reactive power while avoiding critical shaft ...

On the Determination of the Aerodynamic Damping of Wind Turbines Using the Forced Oscillations Method in Wind Tunnel Experiments

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The development of wind turbine technology has led to higher and larger wind turbines with a higher sensitivity to dynamic effects. One of these effects is the aerodynamic damping, which introduces favorable damping forces in oscillating wind turbines ...

The Effect of Variation in the Interlayer Spacing of a Double‐Layer Truss Bridge on the Bridge Deck Wind Environment

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Double‐layer truss bridges are widely used in long‐span crossings due to their high load‐carrying capacity and structural efficiency. However, their complex truss configurations significantly alter the wind field around the deck, posing potential challenges to driving safety and comfort.
