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…
