As climate change is exacerbated and existing resources are depleted, the need for
sustainable industries becomes ever so important. Aviation is not an exception. Despite the …

Floating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) display considerable advantages over
horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to their Omni directionality, better structural …

This book is an introduction to machine learning control (MLC), a surprisingly simple model-
free methodology to tame complex nonlinear systems. These systems are assumed to be …

The aerodynamic performance of newly planned as well as existing wind turbines can be
improved by eliminating stall. Vortex generators (VGs) can effectively delay air separation …

Within a narrow band of flight conditions in the transonic regime, interactions between shock-
waves and intermittently separated shear layers result in large amplitude, self-sustained …

TUBERCLES are leading-edge rounded protuberances that alter the flowfield around an
airfoil. It has been suggested that tubercles on the humpback whale (Megaptera …

Cavitation is a process of liquid evaporation, bubble or vapor sheet formation, and further
collapse of vapor structures, which plays a destructive role in many industrial applications. In …

Vortex generators are widely used passive flow-control devices to improve the aerodynamic
performance of large wind turbines. In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil …

Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have attracted considerable attention in
recent years due to their potential for harvesting wind energy in urban areas and low wind …

Vortex generators (VGs) are commonly-used effective flow separation control devices, and
are proved to have potential to improve the aerodynamic performance of large wind …
