In this paper we report on the results of the Blind Test 2 workshop, organized by Norcowe
and Nowitech in Trondheim, Norway in October 2012. This workshop was arranged in order …

To understand the complex flow phenomena over wind turbine blades during stall
development, a scaled three-dimensional non-rotating blade model is designed to be …

Load alleviation control is highly desirable to reduce penalties associated with the added
structural mass required to withstand rare load scenarios. This is particularly true for wind …

This work describes the development and application of a 3D unsteady surface panel
method with a separation model to the problem of simulating the flow around the blades of a …

Results from three" Blind test" Workshops on wind turbine wake modeling are presented.
While the first" Blind test"(BT1, 2011) consisted of a single model turbine located in a large …

The flight of a migratory bird-like flapping-wing aircraft is characterized by a low Reynolds
number and unsteadiness. The selection of airfoil profiles is critical to designing an efficient …

In addition to the many typical failure mechanisms that afflict wind turbines, units in Taiwan
are also susceptible to catastrophic failure from typhoon-induced extreme loads. A key …

This paper concerns a numerical study of employing an adaptive trailing edge flap to control
the lift of an airfoil subject to unsteady inflow conditions. The periodically varying inflow is …

A computational model for predicting the aerodynamic behavior of wind turbine airfoils
under rotation and subjected to steady and unsteady motions developed in [1] is presented …

Modern aircraft design relies on the usage of computational fluid dynamics for the prediction
of aerodynamic performance. High fidelity methods such as the Reynolds-Averaged Navier …
