Numerical Evaluation of the Aerodynamic Efficiency of the Stevens and Jolly Vertical- Axis Windmill (1895)
This paper presents a numerical investigation of the unsteady flow around an American 19 century vertical-axis windmill: the Stevens & Jolly rotor, patented on April 16, 1895. The computational approach used is based on solving the complete transient Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (t-RANS) equations: a full campaign of numerical simulation has been performed using the k-ω SST turbulence model....
متن کاملVerticality perception during off-vertical axis rotation.
During prolonged rotation about a tilted yaw axis, often referred to as off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR), a percept of being translated along a conical path slowly emerges as the sense of rotation subsides. Recently, we found that these perceptual changes are consistent with a canal-otolith interaction model that attributes the illusory translation percept to improper interpretation of the amb...
متن کاملSailboat as a windmill
This paper proposes to transform a sailboat robot into a big wind turbine (or windmill) corresponding to the boat itself. The main idea is to make the sailboat rotating as fast as possible. When the wind open the sail, the mainsheet is able to pull a generator in order to produce electric energy. The resulting controller is simple to implement and its parameters are easy to tune. A simulated te...
متن کاملActuator line modeling of vertical-axis turbines
To bridge the gap between high and low fidelity numerical modeling tools for vertical-axis (or cross-flow) turbines (VATs or CFTs), an actuator line model (ALM) was developed and validated for both a high and a medium solidity vertical-axis turbine at rotor diameter Reynolds numbersReD ∼ 10. The ALM is a combination of classical blade element theory and Navier–Stokes based flow models, and in t...
متن کاملVertical Axis Awareness in 3D Environments
We inhabit an environment in which the vertical axis is of special significance. It is the line along which the local force of gravity is exerted, and which extends perpendicularly from the surface about which we navigate. It also indicates the general direction of natural scene illumination, and is the axis to which we self-orient for most day-to-day activities. Developers of 3D virtual enviro...
