A Wind Tunnel Test of Wind Farm Auctions
Globally, governments increasingly rely on auctions to advance renewable energy. We study the design of wind farm auctions and analyze the impact of price guarantees and subsidies. While in the theoretical analysis the price guarantee has no effect, our laboratory experiment suggests that it improves efficiency and often increases production and ...

Study on Analysis and Experimental Validation of Wind Torque for Design of Drive Unit of Radar System [PDF]
In this study, we analyzed wind torque from aerostatic force coefficients of radar structures according to the Reynolds number. The test was conducted in the KOCED Wind Tunnel Center at Chonbuk University, and the wind tunnel test model was at 1:8 scale.

Dynamical influence of MJO phases on the onset of Indian monsoon
There is a need to understand the onset of monsoon dynamics as the date of onset of monsoon (DOM) is an important parameter in framing all the policy for the imminent season like crop choice, sowing schedule, disaster management, power distribution etc ...

Design and performance of an open jet wind tunnel for aero-acoustic measurement [PDF]
This paper presents the design and performance of an open jet, blow down wind tunnel that was newly commissioned in the anechoic chamber at the ISVR, University of Southampton, UK. This wind tunnel is intended for the measurement of airfoil trailing edge

A Wind Tunnel Simulation Facility for On-Road Transients [PDF]
This paper outlines the creation of a facility for simulating on-road transients in a model scale, ¾ open jet, wind tunnel. Aerodynamic transients experienced on-road can be important in relation to a number of attributes including vehicle handling ...

Wind-tunnel pressure measurements on model-scale rigid downwind sails [PDF]
This paper describes an experiment that was carried out in the Twisted Flow Wind Tunnel at The University of Auckland to measure a detailed set of pressure distributions on a rigid 1/15th scale model of a modern asymmetric spinnaker. It was observed that

Aerofoil behaviour at high angles of attack and at Reynolds numbers appropriate for small wind turbines [PDF]
The aerodynamic characteristics of a NACA0018 aerofoil have been investigated experimentally for incidence angles ranging from 0° to 180° in closed-jet and open-jet wind tunnels with different blockage coefficients at Reynolds numbers from 60,000 to 140 ...

Simulation of extreme temperature over Odisha during May 2015
An extreme temperature event (heat wave) over the state of Odisha was unique as it lasted for about 2 weeks in the 3rd and 4th weeks of May 2015. There was a similar severe heat wave in western and central Odisha in the month of April 1998.
