Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

Vortical Structures in Transition to Turbulence through Randomly Packed Porous Media: Scale, Energy, and Mixing Characteristics

Creator:: Mohammadi Ziazi, Reza
Abstract:: Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of ﬂow within the pores. Of speciﬁc interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...

Vortex Generator Flow Control for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing with an Extended Coanda Flap

Creator:: Kelly, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper-surface blowing in a novel way using an array of electric ducted fans (EDFs) to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on the use of vortex generators (VGs) to reduce flow separation...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Volumetric receiver development : a heat transfer and design evaluation of an advanced air heating solar thermal central receiver concept

Creator:: Drost, M. K.
Abstract:: The volumetric receiver is an advanced solar central receiver concept designed to produce high temperature air. This document presents the results of a heat transfer and performance evaluation of the volumetric receiver concept. The volumetric receiver consists of an array of ceramic fins or fibers arranged in concentric rows around...

Void fraction variations in a fractal-like branching channel network

Creator:: Cullion, Rebecca
Abstract:: Two-phase flow in a fractal-like branching microchannel heat sink may have enhanced heat transfer capabilities over single phase flow in the same branching channel network. In order to exploit this potential, a complete understanding of flow boiling in this geometry is required. The fractal-like geometry is similar to that of...

Vehicle dynamic validation and analysis from suspension forces

Creator:: Murray, William S.
Abstract:: Several standardized courses for Formula SAE (FSAE) testing are introduced and described with sufficient detail to be reproduced by any Formula SAE team. Basic analysis methods for the courses are given as well as explanations of how those analyses could be used. On-car data from the Global Formula Racing (GFR)...

Using discrete-event simulation to study the influence of log yard sorting on sawmill processing efficiency of small-diameter timber

Creator:: Pinon, Olivia J.
Abstract:: A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a high degree of variability in the raw material used in this industry, computer simulation has proven...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Usage of Digital Image Correlation in Single and Multiple Stereo Systems for Strain and Shape Measurement

Creator:: McKinley, Timothy A.
Abstract:: This dissertation details the application of digital image correlation (DIC) in novel methods for mechanical testing and shape characterization. The first usage manifested in the development of a novel composite test specimen that provided the ability to characterize the matrix compression energy release rate at initiation and subsequent crack propagation....

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Black Box

Creator:: Diebold, John
Abstract:: This project created a stand-alone unit capable of providing on-board sensing and processing for robotic vehicles. This unit was designed to be compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and adaptable. The goal of this project is to help advance robotics research in mapping and multi-agent coordination by making it easier to equip vehicles...

Understanding Designer Mental Models to Support Computer Directed Analogical Design

Creator:: Arlitt, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Analysis of alternative concepts has a significant impact on design project outcomes, and yet many design teams fail to consider a significantly broad range of conceptual solutions. Within the realm of conceptual design exists a technique called design by analogy (DBA) -- the practice of reapplying old solutions to new...
