Influence of Blade Profiles on Flow around Wells Turbine
The Wells turbine rotor consists of several symmetric airfoil blades arranged around a central hub, and the stagger angle is 90 degrees. These characteristics simplify the total construction of OWC type wave energy converters. Although the Wells turbine is simple, the turbine produces a complicated flow field due to the peculiar arrangement of blades, which can rotate in the same direction irre...
متن کاملTurbine Blade Tip Leakage Flow Control: Thick/Thin Blade Effects
An experiment was conducted in a linear cascade of Pak-B blades for an exit Mach number of 0.3 to simulate the flow in the tip-gap region of a low pressure turbine blade row. The experiment focused on the independent effects of thickness-to-gap and gapto-chord ratios on the tip-gap flow behavior. Two extreme gap-to-chord ratios of 5% and 8% were chosen, for which four thickness-to-gap ratios we...
متن کاملLarge-eddy simulations of flow and heat transfer around a low-Mach number turbine blade
Modeling of wall bounded flows and conjugate heat transfer (CHT) is known to be a challenging task for Large-Eddy Simulation (LES). In the boundary layers, the inertial and dissipative scales have similar sizes, which implies relying on different modeling approaches than those used in free turbulent flows. To this aim, a numerical database of highly-refined LES and CHT simulations is built and ...
متن کاملTurbine Blade Illusion
In January 2017, a large wind turbine blade was installed temporarily in a city square as a public artwork. At first sight, media photographs of the installation appeared to be fakes - the blade looks like it could not really be part of the scene. Close inspection of the object shows that its paradoxical visual appearance can be attributed to unconscious assumptions about object shape and light...
متن کاملWind Turbine Blade Design
A detailed review of the current state-of-art for wind turbine blade design is presented, including theoretical maximum efficiency, propulsion, practical efficiency, HAWT blade design, and blade loads. The review provides a complete picture of wind turbine blade design and shows the dominance of modern turbines almost exclusive use of horizontal axis rotors. The aerodynamic design principles fo...
