Computational Study of a Small Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) : Comparative Performance of Various Turbulence Models
(2013-09)
The paper presents a numerical approach to study of fluid flow characteristics and to predict performance of wind turbines. The numerical model is based on Finite-volume method (FVM) discretization of unsteady Reynolds-averaged ...
Self-Powered Dynamic Systems
(2013-07)
This article concerns the concept of energy harvesting associated with dynamic systems. The particular area of work is the concept of fully or partially self-powered dynamic systems requiring zero or reduced external energy ...
Numerical simulation of combined mixing and separating flow in channel filled with porous media
(2013-05)
Various flow bifurcations are investigated for two dimensional combined mixing and separating geometry. These consist of two reversed channel flows interacting through a gap in the common separating wall filled with porous ...
