Galveston Bay dynamics under different wind conditions

Unsteady aerodynamic analysis for offshore floating wind turbines under different wind conditions.

A free-vortex wake (FVW) model is developed in this paper to analyse the unsteady aerodynamic performance of offshore floating wind turbines. A time-marching algorithm of third-order accuracy is applied in the FVW model. Owing to the complex floating platform motions, the blade inflow conditions and the positions of initial points of vortex filaments, which are different from the fixed wind tur...

ASCAT wind quality under high subcell wind variability conditions

The assessment and validation of the quality of satellite scatterometer vector winds is challenging under increased subcell wind variability conditions, since reference wind sources such as buoy winds or model output represent very different spatial scales from those resolved by scatterometers (i.e., increased representativeness error). In this paper, moored buoy wind time series are used to as...

Wind Turbine Performance Under Icing Conditions

Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 306 Talbot Laboratory, 104 S. Wright Street Urbana. IL 61801-2935 The effects of rime ice on horizontal axis wind turbine performance were estimated. For typzcal supercooled fog conditions found in cold northern regions, four rime ice accretwns on the 5809 wmd turbine airfoil were predicted usi...
