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 ...

Abstract The combined use of subcostal ultrasonography and respiratory manometry represents a novel, integrative method for quantifying diaphragm contractile function (force, velocity and power). We evaluated the technical feasibility, construct validity and within‐day test–retest reliability of this method during non‐volitional, volitional and ...

CFD Wake Modelling with a BEM Wind Turbine Sub-Model [PDF]
Modelling of wind farms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) resolving the flow field around each wind turbine's blades on a moving computational grid is still too costly and time consuming in terms of computational capacity and effort.

Numerical Investigation of Transonic Axial Compressor Rotor With Leading‐Edge Tubercles
Amplitude, wavelength, and span‐wise location of the leading‐edge tubercles on a transonic NASA Rotor 37 compressor are numerically optimized. An increase in efficiency by 0.52% compared to the corresponding baseline rotor is observed. The location of the shockwave moves downstream of the rotor with 1.91% higher pressure.

Modelling the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in unsteady wind conditions [PDF]
Most numerical and experimental studies of the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines have been conducted with the rotors in steady, and thus somewhat artificial, wind conditions - with the result that turbine aerodynamics, under varying wind ...

Solar and Wind Energy Variability in Tropical South America: Seasonal Ocean‐Atmospheric Modulators
Climate variability affects renewable energy production and thus considering it in planning is essential for achieving sustainable development. We present how climate (ocean‐atmospheric) variability modes modulate wind and solar radiation variability, thereby influencing renewable power generation in tropical South America. El Niño/Southern Oscillation
