The energy extraction performance of an oscillating rigid and flexible foil

Creator:

Totpal, Alexander D.

Abstract:

The aerodynamic performance of an oscillating pitching and plunging foil operating in the energy harvesting mode is investigated. Experiments are conducted in a closed-loop recirculating wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers of 24,000 to 48,000, and reduced frequencies (k = fc/u) of 0.042 to 0.083. Foil kinematics are varied through the...

Problems of Shape and Information in Multiscale Modeling of Transport Phenomena

Creator:

Ostvar, Sassan

Abstract:

This work is a compilation of problems that deal with multiscale analysis of transport phenomena in environmental systems. A common feature among the problems studied here is the presence of non-negligible microscale structure in various forms. Each problem is approached from the perspective that a macroscopic observable encodes aspects of...
