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...

The ability to control large vortices in the wake of an unsteady body is studied experimentally. A single airfoil in a uniform flow is forced to oscillate sinusoidally about its aerodynamic center and the resulting wake is expected to be dominated by large coherent vortices The wakes for several...

There are numerous examples of dispersed turbulent two-phase flows in engineering and environmental processes. In particular, dispersed solid-liquid flows, also known as slurry flows, have many industrial applications such as transportation of coal, ore, and oil sands. Slurry transportation...

Transport of Bubbles and Oil Droplets Rising in a Net Co-F1ow through a Rectangular Confinement
DownloadFall 2018
The passage of air bubbles and oil droplets with five net co-flow through a vertical straight rectangular flow channel is investigated experimentally and theoretically in this research. A flow channel, varying from 22 mm × 5.84 mm to 3 mm × 5.84 mm (width × thickness) cross-sectional geometry was...

Superhydrophobic surfaces are proven to be capable of reducing the skin friction in laminar and turbulent flows. These surfaces consist of micro/nano-scale hydrophobic roughness features which make the surface render a non-wetting property due to the entrainment of air pockets between the solid...
