    Analysis of Tower Shadow Effects on the UAE Rotor Blades 

    Noyes, Carlos; Loth, Eric; Qin, Chao (Virginia Tech, 2015-06)
    A leading obstacle hindering the development of wind turbines to extreme scale is the structural integrity of the blades. Downwind rotors have been shown to give structural advantages for larger systems. However, there is ...

    Optimizing Building Geometry to Increase the Energy Yield in the Built Environment 

    Grayson, Malika; Garcia, Ephrahim (Virginia Tech, 2015-06-10)
    A crucial element in the use of wind as a source of energy in the built environment, is finding ways to maximize its flow. As flow approaches the windward façade of a building's structure, it accelerates causing an increase ...

    An Experimental Investigation on Surface Water Transport and Ice Accreting Process Pertinent to Wind Turbine Icing Phenomena 

    Hu, Hui (Virginia Tech, 2015-06)
    Wind turbine icing represents the most significant threat to the integrity of wind turbines in cold weather. Ice accretion on turbine blades would decrease power production of the wind turbines significantly. Ice accretion ...
