Wind tunnel tests of a free yawing downwind wind turbine
This research paper presents preliminary results on a behavioural study of a free yawing downwind wind turbine. A series of wind tunnel tests was performed at the TU Delft Open Jet Facility with a three bladed downwind wind turbine and a rotor radius of 0.8 meters. The setup includes an off the shelf three bladed hub, nacelle and generator on which relatively flexible blades are mounted. The to...
متن کاملLow-Speed Wind-Tunnel Tests on some Slender Airbus Configurations
An experimentalinvestigation has been made of the subsonic lift, drag and longitudinal stability characteristics of models representing some alternative slender airbus configurations. For the same wing planform of aspect ratio 1.4 the lift, drag and pitching moment have been measured for two wings of maximum thickness/chord ratio 4 and 9 per cent respectively, both without and with various body...
متن کاملLow-cost wind tunnel for micro-arthropods
The aerial transport of tiny arthropods including wing-less species has been well documented. The initiation of aerial dispersal in most instances is not a passive phenomenon, but involves identifiable behaviors in response to specific stimuli. Here we describe a construction of wind tunnel suitable for close-up observation of micro-arthropods behavior under various conditions. The tunnel was m...
متن کاملOn-road and wind-tunnel measurement of motorcycle helmet noise.
The noise source mechanisms involved in motorcycling include various aerodynamic sources and engine noise. The problem of noise source identification requires extensive data acquisition of a type and level that have not previously been applied. Data acquisition on track and on road are problematic due to rider safety constraints and the portability of appropriate instrumentation. One way to add...
متن کاملSupersonic Wind - Tunnel Flutter Tests of Two Rectangular Wings
Two rectangular wings of aspect ratio 4 were flutter tested in a supersonic wind tunnel at Mach numbers 1·6 and 2·0 using a technique in which a structural stiffness was varied to give flutter at the Mach number. The results are in reasonable agreement with calculations using theoretical three-dimensional derivatives and arbitrary wing modes, though in general the calculated critical stiffnesse...
