In this paper, we numerically study the oscillatory dynamics associated with the tip vortex cavitation over an elliptical hydrofoil section using our 3D variational multiphase flow solver at a Reynolds number of $Re=8.95 \times 10^5$ via…
The near wake of a small-scale wind turbine is investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiments at different tip speed ratios ($\lambda$). The wind turbine model had a nacelle and a tower mimicking real scale wind turbines.…
Understanding the re-energization of wind turbine wakes is crucial for the design and control of wind farms. Close to the rotor, this process is determined by the dynamics of the tip vortices. Here, we experimentally investigate the…
Tidal currents are renewable and predictable energy sources that could prove fundamental to decrease dependency from fossil fuels. Tidal currents, however, are highly unsteady and non uniform, resulting in undesirable load fluctuations on…
Cross-flow turbines, also known as vertical-axis turbines, have numerous features that make them attractive for wind and marine renewable energy. To maximize power output, the turbine blade kinematics may be controlled during the course of…
Wind turbines operating within wind farms experience complex aerodynamic loading arising from the interplay between wake-induced velocity deficits, enhanced turbulence, and varying operational conditions. Understanding the relationship…

Direct dry-cooled power plants typically operate numerous large-diameter axial flow fans in air-cooled condensers to facilitate the condensation of steam in the plant thermodynamic cycle. Enhanced fan efficiency may, at scale, lead to…

The vorticity confinement (VC) method was used with total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes to reduce possible over-confinement and applied to tip vortices shed by edges of wings in order to predict induced drag using far-field…
Although the stability properties of the wake past impervious bluff bodies have been widely examined in the literature, similar analyses regarding the flow around and through porous ones are still lacking. In this work, the effect of the…
