Study of Energy Harvesting Performance of Oscillating Airfoils using a Discrete Vortex Model

Creator:

Kamrani Fard, Kiana

Abstract:

The energy harvesting performance of oscillating airfoils is studied using a discrete vortex model (DVM) with a leading-edge separation criterion. The airfoil undergoes a combined sinusoidal heaving and pitching motion at reduced frequencies of k = 0.06 − 0.16, with heaving amplitude of h0 = 0.5c, and pitching amplitude of...

Mechanically Enhanced and Optically Compatible Hydrogels for Particle Image Velocimetry in Porous Flow

Creator:

Cornwell-Arquitt, Luke

Abstract:

Hydrogels have been attractive for use as a medium in porous flow studies, but have always been limited in this role because of their poor mechanical properties. This project analyzes and tests two recently developed hydrogels, poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PMM), and a heat-treated long chain PVA hydrogel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV)...
