Aeroelastic validation and Bayesian updating of a downwind wind turbine

Downwind wind turbine blades are subjected to tower wake forcing at every rotation, which can lead to structural fatigue. Accurate characterisation of the unsteady aeroelastic forces in the blade design phase requires detailed representation of the aerodynamics, leading to computationally expensive simulation codes, which lead to intractable...

Reconstruction and reduction of uncertainties in aeroelastic systems

The growing demand for energy worldwide has resulted in the exploration and<br/>development of sustainable forms of energy, such as wind energy. Wind turbines<br/>are typically used to extract power from the wind through the rotational motion<br/>of blades, which are aeroelastic structures. Among other practical examples, aircraft wings are also...
