Variation in Flow Characteristics and Power Performance Due to Axial Distance Optimization in the Design of Counter-Rotating Tidal Turbines

Energies
Counter-rotating turbines, designed to enhance the performance efficiency of tidal turbines, exhibit variable operational characteristics depending on the axial distance between the front and rear blades.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

On the Aeroacoustic Scaling of Axial Flow Turbines

International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems
Experimental investigations of acoustic excitation and noise propagation in turbomachines require specialized rigs with sophisticated instrumentation. As it remains challenging to integrate such measurements into a real engine, sub-scale test rigs are required with acoustically optimized boundary conditions to isolate acoustic sources.
