Huang, M. (author)The development of offshore wind energy, especially the steps towards deep water and/or higher density wind farms, revives the prospects of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). Because VAWTs may reduce the cost of floating structures, there is a potential to lower energy costs. However, VAWTs are often assumed to be less efficient and less...doctoral thesis 2023

Huang, M. (author), Vijaykumar Patil, Yugandhar (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author)Wakes and wake interactions in wind turbine arrays diminish energy output and raise the risk of structural fatigue; hence, comprehending the features of rotor–wake interactions is of practical relevance. Previous studies suggest that vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) can facilitate a quicker wake recovery. This study experimentally...journal article 2023

Birvalski, M. (author)The growing demand for energy in the future will necessitate the production of natural gas from fields which are located farther offshore, in deep water and in very cold environments. This will confront us with difficulties in ensuring continuous production of the fluids (natural gas, condensate and water) emerging from a natural gas well. Often...doctoral thesis 2015

Van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Jöbsis, A.J.P. (author), Scarano, F. (author), Souverein, L.J. (author)The spatio-temporal dynamics of an impinging shock/boundary layer interaction atMach 2 and under incipient separation conditions, has been investigated experimentally by means of high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV). The available PIV acquisition rate of up to 20 kHz permits a time-resolved characterization of the interaction. The...journal article 2011

Schrijer, F.F.J. (author)To further improve the design of hypersonic vehicles so that fully reusable systems become a reality, the detailed understanding of the ?ow ?eld that the vehicle generates is of paramount importance. The thesis deals with the aspects of experimental ?ow research which includes also the ?ow facility and the measurement techniques. First a...doctoral thesis 2010

Humble, R.A. (author)A fundamental experimental study is carried out to investigate the unsteady flow organization of an incident shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction at Mach 2.1. Planar and tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV) are used in combination with data processing using the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), complemented with hot-wire...doctoral thesis 2009

Lienhart, H. (author), Gomes, J.P. (author)Experimental studies on reference test cases are of capital importance to support the development of models and coupling strategies for simulations on fluid-structure interaction problems. The need for experimental test cases specially addressed for the validation and diagnostic of numerical tools has triggered the present contribution to design...conference paper 2006
