Unsteady flow field in a mini VAWT with relative rotation blades: analysis of temporal results [PDF]
The present wind turbine is a small one which can be used on roofs or in gardens. This turbine has a vertical axis. Each turbine blade combines a rotating movement around its own axis and around the main rotor axis.

Design and Experimental Validation of a Ducted Counter-rotating Axial-flow Fans System [PDF]
An experimental study on the design of counter-rotating axial-flow fans was carried out. The fans were designed using an inverse method. In particular, the system is designed to have a pure axial discharge flow.

Study on the Rotation Effect on the Modal Performance of Wind Turbine Blades
With the large-scale development of wind turbines, large flexible blades bear heavier loads. In the actual rotating work of blades, the coupling of structural deformation and motion produces a dynamic stiffening effect and spin softening effect, which ...

Vibrations of a Rotating Blade
The bending vibrations of a rotating blade were investigated by some authors. But, as in the aerofoil seetion the centre of gravity and the centre of twist do not coincide the coupling of bending and twisting vibrations occurs necessarily.In the present investigation the frequencies of the above mentioned coupled vibrations of a rotating blade which ...

Bio-Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades. [PDF]
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Comparison of Various Turbulence Models in Rotating Machinery Blade‐to‐Blade Passages [PDF]
Numerical calculations on four blade passages are done using Q3D Navier‐Stokes solver with a simple mixing length turbulence model and two more advanced transport‐equation approaches. Mixing length is simple and cheap but crude, while more sophisticated transport approaches are more physical but more expensive.

Prediction of contra-rotating open rotor broadband noise in isolated and installed configurations
Broadband noise is a significant part of the noise emitted by contra-rotating open rotors. Several noise sources can contribute to the total broadband sound field, with the most dominant ones probably being trailing edge noise, rotor-wake interaction ...
