Aerodynamics of an airfoil with leading‐edge icing

open access: yesWind Energy, 2021
The flow over the leading edge of an NREL S826 reference airfoil with three different icing‐inspired leading‐edge contamination geometries has been assessed experimentally. Particle image velocimetry was performed on the leading edge of the airfoil for a

Comparative Study of Dynamic Stall between an Aircraft Airfoil and a Wind Turbine Airfoil in an Air–Particle Flow

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Dynamic stall in clean air flow has been well studied, but its exploration in air–particle (air–raindrop or air–sand) flow is still lacking. The aerodynamic performance loss of aircraft (NACA0012) and wind turbine (S809) airfoils and their differences ...

Efficient Harvesting of Irregular and Low‐Frequency Mechanical Energy via Hybridized Electromagnetic‐Triboelectric Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization

Performance of PBF‐Printed Micro‐Channel Bipolar Plates as a Function of Flow‐Field Parameters and Plane Area

open access: yesFuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT SUS 316L bipolar plates (BPPs) with rectangular micro‐channels for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were fabricated using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, and the effects of flow‐field structure parameters (channel width, rib width, and channel depth) on fuel cell performance were analyzed.

Ocean Wave Modulation of Offshore Wind Turbine Loads and Wake

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how wave‐induced modulation affects the operational performance and structural dynamics of fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines operating under a neutral atmospheric boundary layer profile. To capture these effects accurately while maintaining computational efficiency, unsteady RANS modelling techniques are employed.
