Optimizing the Interplay Between the Chord-to-Radius Ratio, Camber and Pitch of Cross-Flow Turbine Blades
Ari Athair, Aidan Hunt, Han-Wen Chi +1
This study examines the combined impact of the chord-to-radius ratio (c/R), blade camber, and preset pitch on cross-flow turbine performance. While prior research has examined indi…
Impacts of Blade Camber on Cross-Flow Turbine Performance and Loading
Ari Athair, Caelan Consing, Jennifer A. Franck +1
Cross-flow turbines show promise for renewable energy generation from wind and tidal sources. The rotating reference frame of cross-flow turbine blades results in virtual camber an…
Dynamics of intracycle angular velocity control applied to cross-flow turbines
Sara F. Hartke, Ari Athair, Owen Williams +1
Understanding the intricate dynamics of cross-flow turbines (CFT) is critical to the improvement of performance and optimal control strategies. The current study numerically invest…
Experimental identification of blade-level forces, torque, and pitching moment for cross-flow turbines
Abigale Snortland, Katherine Van Ness, Jennifer A. Franck +3
Cross-flow turbine power is a net sum of power generation from rotating blades and power loss from rotating support structures. While the aggregate forces and torques at the turbin…
