Hub vortex helical instability as the origin of wake meandering in the lee of a model wind-turbine

Fernando Porté Agel, François Gallaire, Giacomo Valerio Iungo, Francesco Viola

Wind tunnel measurements were performed for the wake produced by a three-bladed wind turbine immersed in uniform flow. These tests show the presence of a vorticity structure in the near wake region mainly oriented along the streamwise direction, which is d ...

Near-wake flow structure downwind of a wind turbine in a turbulent boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Wei Zhang, Corey Dean Markfort

Wind turbines operate in the surface layer of the atmospheric boundary layer, where they are subjected to strong wind shear and relatively high turbulence levels. These incoming boundary layer flow characteristics are expected to affect the structure of wi ...

Self Deploying Microglider

Dario Floreano, André Guignard, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Grégory Savioz, Martin Fuchs

The Self Deploying Microglider project aims at developing a novel palm sized robot that can climb up walls, deploy itself into the air, recover from every position in air and perform subsequent goal directed gliding and attachment to walls. So far, we deve ...
