Reaching the betz limit experimentally and numerically
The Betz theory expresses that no horizontal axis wind turbine can extract more than 16/27 (59.3%) of the kinetic energy of the wind. The factor 16/27 (0.593) is known as the Betz limit. Horizontal Axis wind turbine designers try to improve the power performance to reach the Betz limit. Modern operational wind turbines achieve at peak 75% to 80% of the Betz limit. In 1919, Albert Betz used an a...
متن کاملUsing electric current to surpass the microstructure breakup limit
The elongated droplets and grains can break up into smaller ones. This process is driven by the interfacial free energy minimization, which gives rise to a breakup limit. We demonstrated in this work that the breakup limit can be overpassed drastically by using electric current to interfere. Electric current free energy is dependent on the microstructure configuration. The breakup causes the el...
متن کاملUnsteady fluid mechanics effects in water based human locomotion
Computational fluid mechanics (CFD) has made substantial progress on modelling a variety of important problems in industry. owever, there is still lack of reliable methods to model the motion of the body in water. This is a central issue in understanding nimal and human propulsion in water not only to advance science but to explore the possibility of utilising such propulsion modes or man made ...
متن کاملThe theoretical limit to plant productivity.
Human population and economic growth are accelerating the demand for plant biomass to provide food, fuel, and fiber. The annual increment of biomass to meet these needs is quantified as net primary production (NPP). Here we show that an underlying assumption in some current models may lead to underestimates of the potential production from managed landscapes, particularly of bioenergy crops tha...
متن کاملRenewable fluid dynamic energy derived from aquatic animal locomotion.
Aquatic animals swimming in isolation and in groups are known to extract energy from the vortices in environmental flows, significantly reducing muscle activity required for locomotion. A model for the vortex dynamics associated with this phenomenon is developed, showing that the energy extraction mechanism can be described by simple criteria governing the kinematics of the vortices relative to...
