An integral boundary layer method for modelling the effects of vortex generators

In this work, the measured modulated integral boundary layer (IBL) characteristics of low-profile vortex generators (VGs) are used to validate new developments in a viscousinviscid interaction code which is modified to incorporate the effect of the passive mixing devices. The motivations are laid out and sample validation data is presented...

Coupling of a free wake vortex ring near-wake model with the Jensen and Larsen far-wake deficit models

Wind turbine wake stability investigations using a vortex ring modelling approach

In the present study, a simple inviscid vortex ring (VR) modelling approach is used to represent the developing rotor wake. This allows a straightforward investigation and comparison of the impact of uniform, yawed and sheared flow conditions on the development of the rotor wake, with the additional possibility of including ground effect. The...
