Project 1 (June 2013 - October 2014)CFD investigation of far-wake aerodynamics of horizontal axis wind turbines. Calculated surface integrals on radial stream-tubes including effects of forces caused from pressure, shear stress, and Reynolds averaged stress to give a numerical comparison for varying coefficients of thrusts.Project 2 (October 2014 - April 2015)Power generation using High Altitude Wind Power (HAWP) systems. Investigated ground-based generator pumping-mode designs… Show more Project 1 (June 2013 - October 2014)CFD investigation of far-wake aerodynamics of horizontal axis wind turbines.
