  • Evaluation of horizontal axis wind turbine blade loads using unsteady aerodynamics

    Creator:
    Hartin, John R.
    Abstract:
    Most existing analyses of the blade loads on horizontal axis wind turbines are conducted using linear steady-state aerodynamics, but evaluation of loads resulting from wind turbulence or gusts may not be adequate using these techniques. This study develops single-parameter approximations for both the shed wake and trailing wake components of...

  • Direct-sampling optical techniques for the study of transient combustion events

    Creator:
    Herron, John R.
    Abstract:
    Techniques have been developed for measuring the temperature, stable species concentrations, and atomic radical concentrations during a transient combustion event. They combine the features of direct sampling with two spectroscopic techniques to produce relatively simple diagnostic techniques to obtain time-resolved measurements. In this study, a transient event was provided by...
