Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...

Impacts of Blade Camber on Cross‐Flow Turbine Performance and Loading
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Cross‐flow turbines show promise for renewable energy generation from wind and tidal sources. The rotating reference frame of cross‐flow turbine blades results in virtual camber and incidence due to streamline curvature, altering the lift, drag, and pitching moment of the blades. Adding geometric camber is therefore likely to alter performance

A study of sound generation in subsonic rotors, volume 1 [PDF]
A model for the prediction of wake related sound generation by a single airfoil is presented. It is assumed that the net force fluctuation on an airfoil may be expressed in terms of the net momentum fluctuation in the near wake of the airfoil.
