Study of flutter instability using the actuator line method for wind energy harvesting devices
Vitor G. Kleine, Matias Herrera
The suitability of the actuator line method (ALM) to predict flutter instability is theoretically studied by employing a two-dimensional linear model of the ALM undergoing harmonic…
On the applicability of the actuator line method for unsteady aerodynamics
Elías Alva, Vitor G. Kleine, André V. G. Cavalieri
A linear theory for unsteady aerodynamic effects of the actuator line method (ALM) was developed. This theory is validated using two-dimensional ALM simulations, where we compute t…
Simulating Airplane Aerodynamics with Body Forces: Actuator Line Method for Non-planar Wings
Vitor G. Kleine, Ardeshir Hanifi, Dan S. Henningson
Two configurations typical of fixed-wing aircraft are simulated with the actuator line method (ALM): a wing with winglets and a T-tail. The ALM is extensively used in rotor simulat…
Non-iterative vortex-based smearing correction for the actuator line method
Vitor G. Kleine, Ardeshir Hanifi, Dan S. Henningson
The actuator line method (ALM) is extensively used in wind turbine and rotor simulations. However, its original uncorrected formulation overestimates the forces near the tip of the…
Stability of Two-dimensional Potential Flows Using Bicomplex Numbers
Vitor G. Kleine, Ardeshir Hanifi, Dan S. Henningson
The use of the complex velocity potential and the complex velocity is widely disseminated in the study of two-dimensional incompressible potential flows. The advantages of working…
The Stability of Wakes of Floating Wind Turbines
Vitor G. Kleine, Lucas Franceschini, Bruno S. Carmo +2
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are subjected to platform motion induced by wind and wave loads. The oscillatory movement trigger vortex instabilities, modifying the wake s…
