Design parameters and mechanical efficiency of jet wind turbine under high wind speed conditions
Turbines are one of the most important means of producing clean energy, as they do not cause any negative emissions affecting the environment. Recently, the need to design turbines capable of facing strong winds has appeared because the currently ...

Blockage Corrections for Tidal Turbines—Application to an Array of Turbines in the Alderney Race
Tidal turbines are located in shallow water depths in comparison to their dimensions (15 m-diameter turbines in 40 m depths, typically). Constrained vertically by the water depth and laterally by neighbouring turbines, the flow within a tidal farm is ...

Advanced design and optimization of wind turbines based on turbine theories [PDF]
A review of wind turbine technology showed that many flaws in both the flow models and computations are involved in the traditional fundamentals. While traditional methods for design and computation are all based on the airfoil theory, a new method based

Observation of [CI] toward the GL 2591 and W28 A2 Molecular Outflows [PDF]
Molecular outflows associated with GL 2591 and W28 A2 were observed in the 492 GHz [CI] line. Upper limits are set on the [CI] emission in the extremely high velocity line wings. These limits are discussed in terms of wind-driven and jet-driven models of

A Theory for Power Extraction from Passive Accelerators and Confined Flows
No accepted fluid theory exists for power extraction from unpressurized confined flow. The absence of a valid model to determine baseline uniform power extraction in confined flows creates difficulties in characterizing the coefficient of power ...

Flow physics beyond the Betz limit
A pivotal theoretical result of the early 20th century demonstrated that the limit of energy extraction for a wind or tidal stream turbine from an unconstrained flow is 16/27 of the upstream kinetic flux passing through the turbine area, known as the ‘Betz Limit’.
