Influence of pitching on performance of VAWTs

Self- starting is the major obstacle to be overcome for successful design of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). In the past has been suggested that pitching the turbine blades such that pitch angle is not 90 degrees allows for self-starting. To understand the physics surrounding pitching, an analysis is carried out for a common airfoil profile, NACA 0012. The vortex model is used to predict aerodynamic performance of VAWT with pitched blades at various angles. As a result of the analysis carried out for the airfoil at various pitch angles, it was shown that the “dead band” phenomenon could be overcome, but only slightly. At the same time, to overcome the “dead band” with a level on confidence, torques in the tip speed ratio (TSR ) range of 0.75 to 2.75 must be increased to values further above zero. The paper aimed at giving an insight into the small wind turbine starting behavior and its influence parameters. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A stall-delay model for rotating blades

The paper is aimed at describing a fundamental phenomenon: the effect of rotation on the inboard blade boundary layer on a wind turbine. The three-dimensional incompressible steady momentum integral boundary-layer equations are used to predict the boundary-layer growth and limiting streamline angles on the blade surface for both attached and separating flow. The chordwise skin friction coefficient is used to identify boundary layer separation and shear layer reattachment locations. The nature of flow near the axis of rotation is discussed and the physical mechanism associated with 3-D and rotational effects is identified. A semi-empirical correction law for the lift coefficient based on 2-D airfoil data is established. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Design and veri?cation of airfoil families for large-size wind turbine blades?

For the design of wind turbine blades, the use of a family of specially tailored airfoils is particularly important. The dedicated airfoils can dramatically improve the capability of capturing wind power, reduce the structural weight to save the cost of manufacturing and transportation, and lower the inertial loads as well as the loads due to gust. An overview of the world-wide wind turbine airfoil families developed since 1990’s is presented, such as the S series, the DU series, the Ris? series, and the FFA series. The design and wind-tunnel tests of the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) airfoil family for megawatt-size wind turbines, called the NPU-WA series, are summarized. All tests for the NPU-WA series are carried out in the NF-3 low-speed wind-tunnel with a two-dimensional (2D) test section of 1.6 m?0.8 m and at the Reynolds number ranging from 1.6?106 to 5?106 . The research activities for further improving the NPU-WA airfoils towards lower roughness sensitivity are also reviewed. The development of the new NPU-WA series dedicated for multi-megawatt wind turbines is discussed.     

Numerical study of helicopter blade–vortex mechanism of interaction using the potential flow theory

The blade–vortex interaction (BVI) phenomenon plays a key role in the rotorcraft aerodynamics. Numerical investigations of BVI using classical CFD approaches are computationally expensive. In the present research we propose a numerical approach, based on the potential flow theory, for the numerical investigation of helicopter blade–vortex mechanism of interaction. This approach overcomes the computational expenses posed by the CFD techniques. The influence of vertical miss distance, angle of attack, airfoil camber, and vortex strength on the helicopter blade–vortex mechanism of interaction is subject of investigation. The study reveals that the magnitude of the aerodynamic coefficients decreases with the increase of vertical miss distance and angle of attack, and the decrease of vortex strength and core size.     

A numerical investigation on the dynamic stall of a vertical axis wind turbine

In the last years, for home user, the wind turbine with vertical axis (VAWT) began to be more attractive due benefits in exploitation. In terms of aerodynamics, when the wind speed approaches the speed of operation (low value of tip speed ratio -TSR) the blade airfoil exceeds the critical angle of incidence for static conditions. Angle of incidence varies quickly across blade and the blade works in dynamic stall condition. The goal of the present work is to investigate the two-dimensional dynamic stall phenomenon around the NACA 0012 airfoil at relatively low Reynolds. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
