The blades of wind turbines are the most important parts in producing power output. In this study, a section of a 660 KW wind turbine blade will be installed in Iran in near future was tested in a wind tunnel. In addition to steady tests, various unsteady tests including the effects of reduced frequency, mean angle of attack, and amplitudes were carried out. The preliminary results show strong ...

A series of wind tunnel experiments was conducted to study the e ect of propeller solidity and thrust axis inclination on the propeller normalforce coe cient. Experiments were conducted in the Langley 14by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel with a sting-mounted, counterrotation, scalemodel propeller and nacelle. Con gurations had two rows of blades with combinations of 4 and 8 blades per hub. The solidity...

This paper reviews the design optimization of wind turbine blades through investigating the design methods and analyzing the performance of the blades. The current research work in this area include wind turbine blade geometric design and optimization, aerodynamics analysis, wind turbine blade structural design and dynamics analysis. Blade geometric design addresses the design parameters, inclu...

background: there are few studies comparing the biomechanical properties of angled blade plate and locking compression plates in supracondylar osteotomy. in the current randomized study, we prospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of supracondylar osteotomy using these two plates. methods: forty patients with valgus knee malalignment were randomly assigned to two equal numb...

Currently the majority of dozing operations are conducted using tracked vehicles with a fixed blade cutting angle. There is interest from industry in exploring alternatives to tracked vehicles for small scale dozing operations because of the limitations of the platform. One alternative is a six-wheeled vehicle with independent drives and an active suspension. This alternative has higher mobilit...

An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of the body angle of attack on the tail surface pressure distribution for a half body-tail combination in subsonic flow. The results show, in small deflection angle regions, that the tail deflection has the same effect on the surface pressure as the body angle of attack. However at moderate to high deflections, the flowfiled caused ...

Under different working conditions of the aeroengine, rotating speed turbine blades is diverse, and this causes high-temperature gas mainstream to impact at disparate angles attack. In order explore film cooling mechanism pressure surface suction aeroengine blade unusual speed, a 3D model internal runners constructed, which refers Pratt & Whitney PW4084 primary HPT blade. model, set attack ...
