Miniature wind turbines, employed in wind tunnel experiments to study the interaction of
turbines with turbulent boundary layers, usually suffer from poor performance with respect to …

Utility-scale projects for hydrokinetic energy extraction from rivers, tidal or ocean currents
could include tens to hundreds of turbines in densely-packed hydro farms. The aim of the …

The first rotor performance predictions were published by Joukowsky exactly 100 years ago.
Although a century of research has expanded the knowledge of rotor aerodynamics …

In the current experiments, two identical wind turbine models were placed in uniform flow
conditions in a water flume. The initial flow in the flume was subject to a very low turbulence …

The present work investigates local flow structures and the downstream evolution of the core
of helical tip vortices generated by a three-bladed rotor. Earlier experimental studies have …

A preliminary study of a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) design is carried out using a
wind tunnel to obtain its aerodynamic characteristics. Utilization of data from the study to …

Современный этап развития аэродинамики ротора, безусловно, связан с развитием
ветроэнергетики, с переходом от использования одиночных ветряных турбин к …

Because of the slow dynamic behavior of the large-inertia wind turbine rotor, variable-speed
wind turbines (VSWTs) are actually unable to keep operating at the design tip speed ratio …

The role of laboratory testing in the development of rotor aerodynamics (review)* Page 1
Thermophysics and Aeromechanics, 2018, Vol. 25, No.1 DOI: 10.1134/S0869864318010018 …

The aim of the present paper is to obtain a better understanding of wakes generated by 2, 3
and 4 elements (disks and/or rotors) modeling an array of wind turbines in a wind farm. We …
