Development of low-noise drag-type vertical wind turbines

In this study, the aerodynamic noise characteristics of Savonius wind turbines were investigated using hybrid computational aero-acoustics techniques, and low-noise designs were proposed based on the understanding of the noise generation mechanism. First, the flow field around the turbine was analyzed in detail by solving three-dimensional unsteady incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations using computational fluid dynamics techniques. Then, the aerodynamic noise radiating from the wind turbine was predicted using the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings equation with the obtained flow field information. Two distinct harmonic noise components—the blade passing frequency (BPF) and harmonics with a fundamental frequency that is much higher than the BPF—were identified in the predicted noise spectrum. The origin of the higher harmonic components was found to be related to vortex shedding from the rotating turbine. Based on this finding, the proposed low-noise design for Savonius wind turbines uses S-shaped blades. S-shaped blades were found to reduce the noise levels of Savonius wind turbines by up to 2.7 dB.

Experimental investigation of aerodynamic effects of probe on heat transfer from hot-wire sensors at vertical and horizontal orientations

Aerodynamic effects due to hot-wire anemometer (HWA) probe directly influence heat transfer from the probe sensor and result in reduced accuracy in two-dimensional measurements. This experimental research investigates the aerodynamic effects for hot-wire sensors through the study of some important factors such as probe geometry, flow scheme (velocity and direction) and orientation of the probe relative to the flow direction. In addition, flow velocity field between the prongs of a 10:1 model of a single normal probe is explored at different velocities and yaw angles, both at vertical and horizontal orientations of the probe. Results indicate that in vertical orientation, heat transfer from the sensors is always higher than horizontal orientation. Moreover, the aerodynamic effects cause a velocity increase of up to 6% in the vicinity of the sensor. In addition, the presence of the sensor in the flow, generates low-velocity field in the flow wake and a minor rotation of the flow in the vicinity of the sensor, which result in reduced heat transfer from the sensor in horizontal orientation compared to the vertical orientation.     

Rheological behavior of the epoxy/thermoplastic blends during the reaction induced phase separation

The correlation between rheological behavior and time evolution of the phase separation patterns was investigated in the epoxy/thermoplastic blends. Before and during the induction period of phase separation, the storage and loss modulus initially increased with epoxy curing reaction and the concentration fluctuation. At the late stage of phase separation, the modulus values also increased and showed a sharp enhancement around the epoxy gel point. However, the time evolution during the reaction induced phase separation process differed a lot at various thermoplastic (TP) concentrations. At the low TP concentrations, the rheological parameters decreased with the coarsening of sea-island structure. At the high TP concentrations, the TP-rich continuous structures initially formed and maintained until the end, resulting in a continuous increase for the rheological characters. At middle TP concentrations, formation and evolution of the three-layered structure displayed a complicated rheological behavior. It was found that the storage modulus quickly increased, reached a vertex, then rapidly decreased, reached a minimum, and increased again afterwards. Although the rheological behaviors were almost phenomenologically similar as that in the normal dynamically symmetric system, driving force for the variation was fundamentally different. Especially for the case of middle TP concentrations, the behavior of the holistic volume shrinking of the slow dynamic TP-rich network and the flowing out of the fast dynamic epoxy-rich phase from the network during this period, as radically transformed the nature of the matrix from an elastic network to a macro-phase separated layer structure and caused the dramatic change of the rheological behaviors.

Simulation of air flow in the IEA Annex 20 test room—validation of a simplified model for the nozzle diffuser in isothermal test cases

The modeling of air supply devices has been identified from the International Energy Agency (IEA) Annex 20 project as one of the most important problems in applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict air flow pattern and air distribution in buildings, and the complicated HESCO nozzle diffuser used in the IEA Annex 20 test room has been proved to be particularly difficult to model. In a previous study, a simplified model for this diffuser was developed and validated against experimental data. It has been shown that this model can yield good prediction for the wall jet flow issued from the diffuser, but whether this model is capable of correctly predicting the global flow pattern in the whole test room was not known. In this paper, the benchmark data of the IEA Annex 20 Test Cases B2 and B3 were used to evaluate the performance of the model for the prediction of the global air flow pattern in the test room. It was demonstrated that this model can predict the air flow pattern in the whole test room for both the Test Cases B2 and B3 with reasonable accuracy. The significance of a velocity correction when comparing the numerical prediction with experimental data obtained using omni-directional anemometers was also discussed.

A new approach for simulating aerodynamic vibrations of structures in a wind tunnel—development of an experimental system by means of hybrid vibration technique

The present paper describes a newly proposed technique for simulating aerodynamic vibration of structures, which is referred to as the hybrid vibration technique or HVT. This technique is a combination of step-by-step computer calculation and measurement of the aerodynamic force acting on a model structure in a wind tunnel test. Even though the HVT can be applied effectively, problems still exist with respect to obtaining accurate simulations. These problems include response delay in controlling the model behavior and the inertia force component present in the measured aerodynamic force. Techniques for compensating for response delay and for eliminating inertia force from measured aerodynamic force are applied to a developed system based on HVT simulations of aerodynamic vibration of elastic structures and structures exhibiting elasto-plastic behavior are performed by means of the newly developed system. The effectiveness of the techniques for compensating for the response delay and eliminating the inertia force can be confirmed from the results of the simulations. In addition, the possibility and applicability of HVT is indicated.
