Passive control of wing tip vortices through a grooved-tip design
Junchen Tan, Shūji Ōtomo, Ignazio Maria Viola +1
This paper investigates the characteristics and control of tip vortices generated by a finite wing, focusing on the impact of the novel grooved-tip designs. Tip vortices can lead t…
Unsteady Load Mitigation through Passive Pitch
Yabin Liu, Riccardo Broglia, Anna M. Young +2
Mitigation of load fluctuations due to flow unsteadiness is critical in a broad range of applications, including wind/tidal turbines, and aerial/underwater vehicles. While the use…
Controlling Tip Vortices and Cavitation through Tip Permeability for Tidal Turbines
Yabin Liu, Junchen Tan, Richard H. J. Willden +2
Blade-tip vortices can lead to wakes, cavitation and noise, and their control remains a significant challenge for tidal and wind turbines. In the present work, we propose and inves…
Tip-leakage-flow excited unsteadiness and associated control
Yabin Liu, Zhong-Nan Wang, Lei Tan +2
Tip leakage flow in turbomachinery inherently generates intense unsteady features, named self-excited unsteadiness, which has not been well understood. A Zonalised LES (ZLES) is em…
