In this paper, using sliding mesh model, the numerical simulation of small vertical axis wind turbine aerodynamic performance was studied with FLUENT software. Got change rule of four same thickness and different camber‘s NACA series asymmetrical airfoil moment coefficient of the wind turbine and wind power machine with the tip speed ratio. Wind turbine benchmark blade around the flow field was...

in this paper the separation of saffron stigma from stamen and petal in a vertical wind tunnel has been evaluated. a wind tunnel with adjustable speed of 0.1 m s-1 intervals has been developed and used for the experiments. floating velocities of flower components (petal, stigma and stamen) were measured at one, eight, 38 and 60 hours after harvesting. subsequently, the separation was tested by ...

Hunger was found to facilitate visually induced illusory upward and downward self-motions (vertical vection), but not illusory self-motion in depth (vection in depth). We propose that the origin of this hunger effect lies in the possibility that vertical self-motions (both real and illusory) are more likely to induce changes in visceral state.

The influence of spatial and temporal variations in wind forcing on the circulation in lakes is investigated using field data and the three-dimensional Estuary and Lake Computer Model (ELCOM) applied to Lake Kinneret. Lake Kinneret field data from six thermistor chains and eight wind anemometers deployed during July 2001 are presented. Internal wave motions are well reproduced by the numerical ...

recently, transverse flux permanent magnet generators (tfpmgs) have been proposed as a possible generator in direct drive variable speed wind turbines due to their unique merits. generally, the quality of output power in these systems is lower than multi stage fixed speed systems, because of removing the gears, so it’s important to design these kinds of generators with low ripple and lowest har...

Earthquakes generate multi-directional ground motions, two components in the horizontal direction and one in the vertical. Nevertheless, the effect of vertical motion on site response analysis has not been the object of extensive research. The 2010/2011 Canterbury sequence of seismic events in New Zealand is a prime example among other earlier field observations strongly corroborating that the ...

Correlations between geophysical parameters and tropical cyclones are essential in understanding and predicting the formation of tropical cyclones. Previous studies show that sea surface temperature and vertical wind shear significantly influence the formation and frequent changes of tropical cyclones. This paper presents the utilization of a new approach, data mining, to discover the collectiv...
