The mean wind and potential temperature flux profiles in convective boundary layers
Luoqin Liu, Srinidhi N. Gadde, Richard J. A. M. Stevens
We develop innovative analytical expressions for the mean wind and potential temperature flux profiles in convective boundary layers (CBLs). CBLs are frequently observed during day…
Evaluating the accuracy of the actuator line model against blade element momentum theory in uniform inflow
Luoqin Liu, Lucas Franceschini, Daniel F. Oliveira +3
We evaluate the accuracy of the actuator line model (ALM) approach by performing simulations for the NREL~5~MW wind turbine in uniform inflow using three large eddy simulation code…
Enhanced wind-farm performance using windbreaks
Luoqin Liu, Richard J. A. M. Stevens
The flow speed-up generated by windbreaks can be used to increase the power production of wind turbines. However, due to the increased drag imposed by the windbreaks, their use in…
A new similarity law for transonic-supersonic flow
Luoqin Liu
How to determine accurately and efficiently the aerodynamic forces of the aircraft in high-speed flow is one of great challenges in modern aerodynamics. In this Letter we propose a…
Numerical validation and physical explanation of the universal force theory of three-dimensional steady viscous and compressible flow
Shufan Zou, Luoqin Liu, Jiezhi Wu
In a recent paper, Liu et al. [``Lift and drag in three-dimensional steady viscous and compressible flow'', Phys. Fluids 29, 116105 (2017)] obtained a universal theory for the aero…
Instabilities driven by diffusio-phoretic flow on catalytic surfaces
Yibo Chen, Kai Leong Chong, Luoqin Liu +2
We theoretically and numerically investigate the instabilities driven by diffusiophoretic flow, caused by a solutal concentration gradient along a reacting surface. The important c…
