ABSTRACT A thorough understanding of turbine wakes is essential for various aspects of wind energy, including turbine siting, load evaluation, and wind farm control. However, high‐fidelity time‐domain computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that consider all possible turbulent inflow wind conditions are computationally expensive and impractical ...

Thrust pulsation of coaxial main rotor, caused by the blades relative position
The influence of reciprocal position of the upper rotor blades in respect to the lower rotor blades is characteristic for coaxial main rotor. It is established that the initial azimuth of the blade, for example, of the upper rotor’s which does not ...

Helicopter low-speed yaw control [PDF]
A system for improving yaw control at low speeds consists of one strake placed on the upper portion of the fuselage facing the retreating rotor blade and another strake placed on the lower portion of the fuselage facing the advancing rotor blade.

Review on Icephobicity of Materials Surface Enhanced by Interface Action Force
As ‘energy‐free’ passive anti‐icing strategies have not yet been effectively implemented, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which mechanical forces influence the evolution of solid‐liquid, solid‐liquid/ice interfaces, and solid‐ice interfaces, as well as the integration of mechanical forces with various types of active/passive ...

Smart actuation for helicopter rotorblades [PDF]
Successful rotorcrafts were only achieved when the differences between hovering flight conditions and a stable forward flight were understood. During hovering, the air speed on all helicopter blades is linearly distributed along each blade and is the ...

The use of active controls to augment rotor/fuselage stability [PDF]
The use of active blade pitch control to increase helicopter rotor/body damping is studied. Control is introduced through a conventional nonrotating swashplate. State variable feedback of rotor and body states is used.

Estimation of rotor aerodynamics using blade element theory [PDF]
This paper presents a detailed analysis of the Blade Element Theory (BET) as applied to the aerodynamic performance of propellers and rotor systems. BET, a low-fidelity but widely used method, models the rotor blade as a series of independent elements ...
