Solidity effects on the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines
Flow, 2021 The variety of configurations for vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) make the development of universal scaling relationships for even basic performance parameters difficult.

Real-time flow measurement system: physics-informed reconstruction and sampling strategy
Flow, 2023 In this work, we focus on a multi-hole pressure-probe-based flow measurement system for wind tunnel measurements that provides real-time feedback to a robot probe-manipulator, rendering the system autonomous. The system relies on a novel, computationally

Monitoring carbon dioxide to quantify the risk of indoor airborne transmission of COVID-19
Flow, 2021 A new guideline for mitigating indoor airborne transmission of COVID-19 prescribes a limit on the time spent in a shared space with an infected individual (Bazant & Bush, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America ...

Theoretical modelling of the three-dimensional wake of vertical axis turbines
Flow, 2021 Vertical axis turbine (VAT) arrays can achieve larger power generation per land area than their horizontal axis counterparts, due to the positive synergy from clustering VATs in close proximity.

Adaptive drag reduction of a sphere using smart morphable skin
FlowIn this study, a novel smart surface-morphing technique is devised that dynamically optimises roughness parameter on a sphere with varying flow conditions to minimise drag. A comprehensive series of experiments are first performed to systematically study

Leveraging three-dimensionality for navigation in bluff-body wakes
FlowBiological flyers and swimmers navigate in unsteady wake flows using limited sensory abilities and actuation energies. Understanding how vortical structures can be leveraged for energy-efficient navigation in unsteady flows is beneficial in developing ...
