Passive flow control techniques, and particularly vortex generators have been used
successfully in a broad range of aero-and hydrodynamics applications to alter the …

Oscillating water column (OWC) is the most widely used wave energy converting technology
for onshore structures. The interest in OWC wave energy converters (WECs) has been rising …

The flow performance of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) is significantly deteriorated by
dynamic stall at low tip-speed-ratios (TSR). Dynamic stall occurs periodically during the …

To further interpret the control mechanisms of leading-edge micro-cylinders for flow
separation in a Wells turbine, the residual circulation budget was performed through an …

The construction of the prototype OWC plant proposed development requirements of the
wave-to-wire model for the overall performance predictions, which should balance the …

Wells turbines, self-rectifying air-driven axial turbines, are typically used to convert
pneumatic power available in the periodic reversed airflow in Oscillating Water Column …

Renewable energy is crucial for a sustainable future, and wind energy holds significant
potential as a viable solution to meet global demands. The current study employs high …

The increasing demand for sustainable energy has spurred research and development of
wind turbines. In this study, a passive flow-control technique using a non-uniform curved slot …

In recent years, a number of authors have studied entropy generation in Wells turbines. This
is potentially a very interesting topic, as it can provide important insights into the …

Modified Wells turbines allow an efficient use of the power contained in the ocean and sea
waves. The present study introduces the performance of an axial turbine which called Wells …
