Time-varying wind-turbine wakes at high Reynolds numbers
Nathaniel J. Wei, Adina Y. Fleisher, John W. Kurelek +1
Wind turbines operating in the atmospheric boundary layer are constantly exposed to time-varying flow conditions. These disturbances often occur on similar time scales to wind-turb…

An analytical model for rotors in confined flow across operating regimes
I. M. L. Upfal, K. J. McClure, K. S. Heck +4
Rotors operating in confined flows, or blockage, are commonly encountered in wind and water tunnels, as well as in shallow or dense deployments of hydrokinetic turbines. Confinemen…

Bistable SMA-driven engine for pulse-jet locomotion in soft aquatic robots
Graziella Bedenik, Antonio Morales, Supun Pieris +4
This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a bio-inspired soft aquatic robot, the DilBot, which uses a bistable shape memory alloy-driven engine for pulse-jet lo…
