Experimental Study on Influence of Pitch Motion on the Wake of a Floating Wind Turbine Model

open access: yesEnergies, 2014
Wind tunnel experiments were performed, where the development of the wake of a model wind turbine was measured using stereo Particle Image Velocimetry to observe the influence of platform pitch motion.

Wind Tunnel Experiments on Interaction between Two Closely Spaced Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines in Side-by-Side Arrangement

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
This study aimed to determine the optimal rotor spacing of two vertical-axis wind turbines, which are simulated by miniature models arranged side-by-side with a relatively low aspect ratio.

Towards a Simplified DynamicWake Model Using POD Analysis

open access: yesEnergies, 2015
We apply a modified proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to large eddy simulation data of a wind turbine wake in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk.

Numerical investigation of wind turbine wakes under high thrust coefficient

open access: yesWind Energy, 2022
We study wind turbine wakes of rotors operating at high thrust coefficients (CT > 24/25) using large‐eddy simulations with a rotating actuator disk model. Wind turbine wakes at high thrust coefficients are different from wakes at low thrust coefficients.

The interaction between the Moon and the solar wind [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We study the interaction between the Moon and the solar wind using a three-dimensional hybrid plasma solver. The proton fluxes and electromagnetical fields are presented for typical solar wind conditions with different magnetic field directions.

Disease and degeneration of aging neural systems that integrate sleep drive and circadian oscillations

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2011
Sleep and circadian activity rhythms become irregular with age which are characterized by fragmented sleep during the night and increased daytime sleepiness.

Vortical structure in the wake of a transverse jet [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Structural features resulting from the interaction of a turbulent jet issuing transversely into a uniform stream are described with the help of flow visualization and hot-wire anemometry. Jet-to-crossflow velocity ratios from 2 to 10 were investigated at

Fluidic force and wake velocity of 3D body with four limbs in uniform flow

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023
Robots that operate at a disaster site have been proposed and the dispatch of rescue robots to such site is required. However, discussion on the transport of these robots is insufficient.

Characteristics of unsteady flow around a vehicle affecting its high-speed stability during a dynamic steering action

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
In order to clarify unsteady flow structure’s behavior that improves vehicle’s high-speed stability during steering input, on-road analysis was conducted.

Wake flow visualization of a dandelion pappus with posture change

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023
A typical plant that is distributed by wind is the dandelion, which possesses a complex hairy pappus that aids in flying. A pappus or group of bristly filaments found in plumed seeds is believed to have a role in drag enhancement. The pappus prolongs the
