Analysis of Turbine Wake Characteristics using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Triple Decomposition Methods
(Virginia Tech, 2015-06)
In the present study, we report the progress made in our efforts to examine the wake flow characteristics behind a commonly-used three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine. A series of experiments were performed in a ...
A Wind Tunnel Study on the Aeromechanics of Dual-Rotor Wind Turbines
(Virginia Tech, 2015-06)
In the present study, we report our recent efforts to develop a novel dual-rotor wind turbine (DRWT) concept to improve aerodynamic efficiency of isolated turbines as well as wind farms. The DRWT concept employs a secondary, ...
