Fall 2020
This dissertation characterizes the wake dynamics of long depth-ratio wall-mounted rectangular cylinders at a range of Reynolds numbers between 250-1000 at different incidence (yaw) angles, 0° - 45° with respect to the free stream flow. The effect of large depth-ratio on flow characteristics and...

Performance evaluation, wake study, and flow visualization of air and large diameter water droplets around the blade of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine
DownloadSpring 2011
This thesis presents a performance evaluation of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine, investigates the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV) to capture the flow field around a rotating blade and to track water droplets in the flow. The testing was done in a low speed wind tunnel in a highly...
