The Design of a Small Aeroacoustic Wind Tunnel

In this master thesis project the initial steps for the design of a new wind tunnel<br/>for aeroacoustic measurements are made. Well-documented sizing methods for<br/>different wind tunnel parts were found in a literature study and were used<br/>together with 2D CFD simulations to create a new wind tunnel design. Thick<br/>corner vanes were used...

Numerical and experimental investigations of bend-twist coupling effects for a small wind turbine blade

Material bend-twist coupling has been widely studied in the research community as a passive control mechanism for a wind turbine. However, there is a lack of research in incorporating it in the rotor design process, with little research being conducted for its application to small wind turbines. The present study focuses on this issue by...

Design Requirements for 2-D Aero-elastic Experiments on Airfoils

Given the prime importance of wind tunnel setup when it comes to aero-elastic study, the main intent of this project is to devise a mechanism for supporting system of 2D aero-elasticity experiment in the Red Wind Tunnel Facility at DTU that allows three-degree-of-freedom motion of the rigid model. This project work is mainly inspired by the fact...
