Micallef, D. (author), Akay, B. (author), Sant, T. (author), Simao Ferreira, C.J. (author), Van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)The scope of this work was to investigate radial flow component for a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine in axial flow conditions and to assess its impact on the turbine operation. This was done by means of Particle Image Velocimetry and numerical simulation with a 3D unsteady potential-flow panel model. A direct comparison between the numerical and...conference paper 2011

Micallef, D. (author), Simao Ferreira, C.J. (author), Sant, T. (author), Van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)The main motivation behind this work is to create a purely analytical engineering model for wind turbine wake upward deflection due to shear flow, by developing a closed form solution of the velocity field due to an oblique vortex ring. The effectiveness of the model is evaluated by comparing the results with those of a free-wake model. The...conference paper 2010

Schreck, S. (author), Sant, T. (author), Micallef, D. (author)Wind turbine structures and components suffer excessive loads and premature failures when key aerodynamic phenomena are not well characterized, fail to be understood, or are inaccurately predicted. Turbine blade rotational augmentation remains incompletely characterized and understood, thus limiting robust prediction for design. Pertinent...conference paper 2010
