Effect of the number of blades and solidity on the performance of a vertical axis wind turbine [PDF]
Two, three and four bladed phgr-shape Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are simulated using a free-wake vortex model. Two versions of the three and four bladed turbines are considered, one having the same chord length as the two-bladed turbine and the other ...

Flow curvature effects on dynamic behaviour of a novel vertical axis tidal current turbine: numerical and experimental analysis [PDF]
The paper deals with performances analysis of vertical axis turbine to exploit tidal marine currents. Flow curvature effects on performences of a novel vertical axis turbine have been investuigated. It has been shown that the flow curvature effect allows

Seed Geometry in Species of the Nepetoideae (Lamiaceae)
The Nepetoideae are a subfamily of the Lamiaceae with 124 genera in three tribes: Elsholtzieae, Mentheae and Ocimeae. Their seeds have variable shapes, described in the literature by using adjectives derived from geometry, such as ellipsoid or elliptic ...

Solidity of viscous liquids. V. Long-wavelength dominance of the dynamics [PDF]
This paper is the fifth in a series exploring the physical consequences of the solidity of glass-forming liquids. Paper IV proposed a model where the density field is described by a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation of the nonconserved type with ...
