In recent years, public concern about environmental affair is growing at the same time, wind power generation systems have been common, it is required to improve the efficiency of wind turbine blades, leading to its operational stability and high efficiency. In this study, it is examined if the blade surface roughness affects the flow condition around the wind turbine blades to control the blade performance. Specifically, the flow velocity around blades are measured by using the hot-wire anemometer, so as to identify the flow behavior on the blade surface and behind the blades. As a result, flow separation is decreased because of contain roughness on the blade, and it is clarified that flow behavior on the blade surface and behind the blades is changed due to the blade surface roughness.

Interference effects of an adjacent building on local peak wind pressures on a high-rise building

January 2009

Interference effects for largest maximum and smallest minimum peak wind pressures on the walls of an identical pair of high-rise buildings were studied via a series of wind tunnel experiments using a wind pressure model. Various locations of an interfering building of identical cross-section and height were considered. The wind terrain condition was represented as urban wind exposure with a power ... [Show full abstract] law exponent 0.33. Measured local peak wind pressure coefficients were compared with those for the walls of an isolated building. The results show that the local peak wind pressure coefficients for the walls of the principal building were higher or lower depending on the location of the interfering building, and were largely induced by the wake separated from the edges of an upwind interfering building. An interesting observation was that when the interfering building was located at (-1.5B, 0.5B), the smallest minimum peak wind pressure coefficient for the leeward wall of the principal building was increased to -3.34, while that for the leeward wall of the isolated building was increased to -1.98. It is suggested that a downwind building (interfering building) located at (-1.5B, 0.5B) deflects the flow separated from the right edge of the windward wall of the principal building, causing a change in wind speed and wind direction around the interfering building, and the building-spawned wind may increase the local minimum peak wind pressures coefficients on the right-hand side of the leeward wall of the principal building. © 2009 Faculty of Construction and Land Use, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Modelling of mean and fluctuating wind loads in built-up areas

April 1998 · Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics

Two experimental studies on wind-induced pressures were carried out in different types of built-up areas, one of them with a series of models of different heights and plan sizes to determine the influence of the surrounding roughness. Also, the model diameter of a complex suburban area was modelled in several steps for the determination of the effort needed for accurate modelling of a real world ... [Show full abstract] situation. In the course of this year the full-scale measurements on these selected test-buildings will begin. Some results of the wind-tunnel experiments of the two studies are presented in this paper. The effects of the surrounding is described by a small set of parameters for the built-up areas.

Accurate wind turbine annual energy computation by advanced modeling

October 2016

Renewable energy is the ultimate goal to mitigate global greenhouse gas emissions, and to have energy independence. Renewable energy computation is best accomplished by taking into account the annualized statistical wind power availability. In this paper, the annual energy has been accurately computed for a wind turbine (WT) by an advanced modeling, taking into account the characteristics of the ... [Show full abstract] WT and the environment. Accounting for the parameters affecting the output energy, is implemented in order to correctly model the system. This helps in monitoring the power generation, and sizing of the wind farm. Mainly, two scenarios are discussed. First, accuracy of WT modeling when the wind speed only affects the output power. Second, accuracy of air density modeling when many parameters affect the WT output power which include wind speed, power coefficient, elevation above sea level, temperature, pressure and humidity. It is shown that accurate modeling has a considerable impact on the computed annual energy extracted from a single WT and thus the whole wind farm. This will have a major impact on the sizing of the wind farm, and hence affects the net present cost of the entire system.

PRESSURES ON BUILDING FACADES: WIND AND TEMPERATURE.

January 1972

L.E. Robertson

Predictions of facade pressures for specific buildings can be made during the design process by testing a scale model of the building in a boundary layer wind tunnel and by combining the wind tunnel data with environmental data dealing with wind speed and air temperature. These wind and temperature data are then used in conjunction with known or assumed permeabilities of the exterior wall and of ... [Show full abstract] building interiors so as to determine internal pressures from stack-effect. From the difference between external pressures and internal pressures the net steady-state pressure is then determined and added to the fluctuating component of wind pressures to determine the total pressure to be resisted by the facade.

Experimental investigation on characteristics of wind pressure on atrium facades of tall building

February 2014 · Journal of Natural Disasters

Wind tunnel tests of 1: 500 rigid model of tall building with atrium were carried out. Based on the experimental results, characteristics of wind pressure on atrium inner facades and wind loads on tall building structures were investigated in detail. The results show that the formation of flow separation on the top of tall buildings with atrium plays a critical role in the generation of wind ... [Show full abstract] pressures on atrium inner facades without opening. Meanwhile, wind pressure coefficient distribution on the atrium facades is relatively uniform. Moreover, the horizontal and vertical correlation of pressure coefficient is high at most locations on atrium facades. With the increasing of the opening ratio, the mean wind pressure coefficients first decrease and then stabilize, and the fluctuating wind pressure coefficients first decrease and then increase, A design guideline for wind-resistant design of atrium facades was proposed, and the results predicted by the proposed guideline are in good agreement with those from the wind tunnel tests, indicating that the proposed guidelines can be used for similar engineering design.

The influence of the crown upon the stability of trees

October 2014

When aiming to understand the tree stability, knowledge of the trees’ biomechanical behaviour under the pressure of destabilizing factors represents an essential step because the former is influenced by the features and particularities of each tree part. Given its position and characteristics, the tree crown becomes a very important component since it is the most exposed tree part to the wind ... [Show full abstract] pressure. Also, the current knowledge indicates that the tree stability is greater as both, the crown diameter and the contact area of the crown decrease, therefore the surface exposed to air currents is less. The general conclusion is that the trees are the best biometric structures and the ratio between the height and the diameter is a good indicator of the trees stability.

January 1996 · Transactions of the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers B

Flows were measured in an unshrouded centrifugal impeller. By using a single slanted hot-wire probe and a Kiel probe mounted on the impeller hub disk, the 3-D relative velocities and the rotary stagnation pressures were measured in seven circumferential planes between the inlet and outlet of the impeller rotating at 700 rpm, which diameter is 0.39 meter, and the static pressures and the slip ... [Show full abstract] factor at the impeller outlet were estimated from the measured values. Measurements were made for three flow rates corresponding to zero incidence and two others with the greater and the smaller one than zero. From the measured data in these flow rates, the followings were investigated in the impeller passage, the variation of the primary and secondary flows, the leakage flows, the wake's position and its size, the static pressure rise and the loss production mechanism. Furthermore the static pressure and the slip factor were compared with the results of inviscid Quasi-3D calculation.
