Aerodynamics of finite-span inclined flat plates in ground proximity
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-11)Photovoltaic power generation has grown to become a multi-billion dollar global sector, aiding in the switch to renewable energy sources to limit the progress of climate change. However, relatively high energy production ... -
Digital Tuft Flow Visualisation of Wind Turbine Blade Stall
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-20)Wind turbines installed in the open atmosphere experience much more complex and highly-varying flow than their counterparts in wind tunnels or numerical simulations. In particular, aerodynamic stall—which occurs often on ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigations of the Flow Development over Circular Cylinders with Stepwise Discontinuities in Diameter
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-02)Flow past circular cylinders with stepwise discontinuities in diameter was investigated experimentally and numerically for the diameter ratio D/d = 2 and three Reynolds numbers, Re = 150, 300, and 1050. The investigation ... -
Vortex Dynamics within the Laminar Separation Bubble over a NACA 0018 Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-02)The structures formed in the separated shear layer within a Laminar Separation Bubble (LSB) over a NACA 0018 airfoil at a chord Reynolds number of 100,000 and Angles of Attack (AOA) of (5°, 8°, and 10°) were investigated. ...
