Data from: Optimal blade pitch control for enhanced vertical-axis wind turbine performance
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Sébastien Le Fouest
This directory contains open-source data obtained using a single-bladed H-type vertical-axis wind turbine prototype with individual blade pitching. This data results from the optimisation of the blade's pitching kinematics using a genetic algorithm at two ...
Zenodo2024Heading for the Abyss: Control Strategies for Exploiting Swinging of a Descending Tethered Aerial Robot
Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Max Mirko Polzin, Frank Centamori
The use of aerial vehicles for exploration and data collection has the potential to significantly aid environmental monitoring in environments which are dangerous and hard to navigate. However, within these environments navigation can often be restricted b ...
2023A new Euler-Lagrangian cavitation model for tip-vortex cavitation with the effect of non-condensable gas
Numerical simulation of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a challenging task in a variety of applica-tions, such as axial turbines and pumps as well as marine propellers. Although it is well known that TVC is highly sensitive to gas content, be it dissol ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021The dynamics and timescales of static stall
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Sébastien Le Fouest, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday
Airfoil stall plays a central role in the design of safe and efficient lifting surfaces. We typically distinguish between static and dynamic stall based on the unsteady rate of change of an airfoil’s angle of attack. Despite the somewhat misleading denotat ...
2021A Morphing Cargo Drone for Safe Flight in Proximity of Humans
Dario Floreano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, William John Stewart, Mir Alikhan Bin Mohammad Feroskhan
Delivery drones used by logistics companies today are equipped with unshielded propellers, which represent a major hurdle for in-hand parcel delivery. The exposed propeller blades are hazardous to unsuspecting bystanders, pets, and untrained users. One sol ...
