Wind farm power optimization via yaw angle control: A wind tunnel study

Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah

Yaw angle control is known nowadays as a promising and effective technique to mitigate wake effects in wind farms. In this paper, we perform wind tunnel experiments to study the performance of a model wind farm with five turbine rows under a wide variety o ...

On the Dynamics of Magnetic Swimmers in Stokes Flow

Pauline Marie Rüegg-Reymond

In the past decade, the engineering community has conceived, manufactured and tested micro-swimmers, i.e. microscopic devices which can be steered in their intended environment. Foreseen applications range from microsurgery and targeted drug delivery to en ...

On Designing An Active Tail For Body-Pitch Control In Legged Robots Via Decoupling Of Control Objectives

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Peter Eckert, Steve Walter Shue Heim

This work explores the use of active tails for steady-state legged-locomotion. Simple models are proposed which capture the dynamics of an idealized running system with an active tail. Analysis suggests that the control objectives of injecting energy into ...

On Designing an Active Tail for Legged Robots: Simplifying Control via Decoupling of Control Objectives

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Peter Eckert, Steve Walter Shue Heim

This work explores the possible roles of active tails for steady-state legged-locomotion. A series of simple models are proposed which capture the dynamics of an idealized running system with an active tail. The models suggest that the control objectives o ...

Neural Decoding of Discriminative Auditory Object Features Depends on Their Socio-Affective Valence

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Melissa Saenz

Human voices consist of specific patterns of acoustic features that are considerably enhanced during affective vocalizations. These acoustic features are presumably used by listeners to accurately discriminate between acoustically or emotionally similar vo ...

A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in yawed conditions

Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah

Wind-tunnel experiments were performed to study the performance of a model wind turbine and its wake characteristics in a boundary layer under different operating conditions, including different yaw angles and tip speed ratios. High-resolution particle ima ...

A Collision Resilient Flying Robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski

Flying robots that can locomote efficiently in GPS-denied cluttered environments have many applications, such as in search and rescue scenarios. However, dealing with the high amount of obstacles inherent to such environments is a major challenge for flyin ...

Evolution of the Aerodynamic Stability of an Oscillating Annular Compressor Cascade with Inlet Reverse Flow Condition Variations

Peter Ott, Virginie Anne Chenaux

While the advancement of computing hardware now enables accurate predictions of flutter and forced response at normal flow conditions during the compressor design phase, aeroelastic computations at off-design or reverse flow conditions remain a challenging ...

Euler-Poincare Approaches to Nematodynamics

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz, Cesare Tronci

Nematodynamics is the orientation dynamics of flowless liquid-crystals. We show how Euler-Poincar, reduction produces a unifying framework for various theories, including Ericksen-Leslie, Luhiller-Rey, and Eringen's micropolar theory. In particular, we sho ...
