Stall induced limit cycle oscillations were observed experimentally and modeled by several researchers in the last decades. However, there are not enough works on the versatility of this phenomenon applied to the conversion of flow energy to electrical energy in a optimized approach. Given this fact, the present work proposes an analysis based on the choice of structural and aerodynamic p…
Aerodynamic and structural nonlinearities influence the aeroelastic behavior of helicopter rotors or wind generators. One phenomenon resulting from the coupling between the aerodynamics and the structural dynamics of these components are the stall-induced limit cycle oscillations, which have been investigated by several researchers. However, the modeling of this phenomenon is still a chal…
Wind turbines represent a technology for electrical energy generation that has been applied widely in the world. Their evolution leads to the development of rotors with blades of large aspect ratio, reaching spans over 100 meters. Consequently, these blades have great flexibility and become subject to various aeroelastic problems. Thus, the study of aeroelastic behavior of wind rotors is …
The optimization of an energy harvester from stall-induced oscillations, such as proposed in the ongoing doctoral project (FAPESP project 2017/09468-6), requires an accurate and fast aerodynamic model. This modeling must be able to capture non-linearities associated with dynamic stall effects. Furthermore, when a harvester with finite span is considered, the aerodynamic analyses need to a…
The present research project proposes the development of a computational wind turbine aeroelastic model where the aerodynamic model accounts for the nonlinear effects of flow separation and dynamic stall. By doing so, this work complements the development of an aeroelastic model in the original process (FAPESP process 2014/21166-7 - scientific initiation grant), where unsteady vortex latt…
