NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TWO ELEMENT CAMBER MORPHING AIRFOIL IN LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER FLOWS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017
Aerodynamic performance of a two-element camber morphing airfoil was investigated at low Reynolds number using the transient SST model in ANSYS FLUENT 14.0 and eN method in XFLR5. The two-element camber morphing concept was employed to morph the baseline

From Origami to Bistable and Laminate Structures: A Review for Multifunctional Applications from Structural Perspective of Shape‐Changing Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Development of a Novel Modified Mean‐Line Approach for Performance Prediction of Axial Compressors

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is significant importance in accurate prediction of axial flow compressor characteristics at different conditions. Different techniques and models have been proposed for performance prediction of axial compressors. Because of its lower computational cost and high speed the meanline algorithm has been widely applied in preliminary design ...

Design of HAWT Rotor for Non‐Uniform Inflow Conditions: A Theoretical and Experimental Approach for Shear Flow

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
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 ...

Airfoil optimisation for vertical‐axis wind turbines with variable pitch

open access: yesWind Energy, 2019
To advance the design of a multimegawatt vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), application-specific airfoils need to be developed. In this research, airfoils are tailored for a VAWT with variable pitch.
