OBJEK BURUNG HANTU SEBAGAI IDE GAGASAN BERKARYA TENUN TAPESTRI
No full textGestur serta pola tingkah burung hantu yang begitu menarik dan terdapat beberapa ciri khusus yang membuat burung hantu terlihat berbeda dibandingkan dengan jenis burung lainnya. Dalam masalah penciptaan penulis ingin mengembangkan gagasan berkarya dan visualisasi objek burung hantu. Penulis juga memiliki tujuan untuk mengembangkan gagasan, hasil jadi karya serta visualisasi karya tenun tapestri. Penulis mencoba mengangkat permasalahan objek burung hantu melalui karya tenun tapestri dengan menggunakan media serat alam. Selain itu penulis mencoba memaparkan beberapa gagasan yang mungkin menjadi salah satu pemunculan kreativitas dari segi motif. Dikarenakan sebagian motif yang dimunculkan pada tenun tapestri hanya berupa landscape, flora dan segala hal yang bertemakan lingkungan. Minimnya motif hewan yang digunakan dalam pembuatan tenun, karena pada wujud karya terdahulu hanya motif hewan tertentu yang digunakan sebagai motif tenun misalkan motif ayam dan kuda memberikan kesan etnik. Selebihnya adalah motif dengan corak geometri. Pemilihan media serat agel lebih diutamakan dibanding serat buatan karena lebih ramah lingkungan serta memberi kesan natural sesuai dengan objek untuk menunjang karya tenun tapestri, meski sebagian penggunaan serat dipadupadankan dengan serat alam agel yang telah mengalami proses pewarnaan. Penulis mengaplikasikan teknik tenun corak rata secara keseluruahan serta penggunaan teknik corak soumak sebagai teknik pembuka diawal tenunan dan penutup diakhir tenunan serta macrame sebagai teknik penghias diakhir tenunan. Karya yang diciptakan terdiri dari tiga karya tenun tapestri dengan ukuran yang serupa. Setiap bagian terdiri dari cerita dan makna yang hampir serupa. Secara keseluruhan karya ini menceritakan tentang gestur burung hantu sebagai objek utama. Dari hasil penciptaan ini diharapkan dapat menemukan berbagai inovasi dan ide segar. Dapat dijadikan acuan berkarya dengan memanfaatkan serat alam untuk berkaya khususnya tenun tapestri.

Gesture and owl behavior are very interesting. There are characteristics make the owl look different than other birds. In the matter of creation, the author would like develop idea and visualization of owl. Author also has a goal to develop idea and visualization products woven tapestries. Author lift objects owl issue through products of woven tapestries using natural fiber. Author describes some idea into of the ornament creativity. Because many of ornament that appear in the tapestry woven is landscape theme, flora and environment theme. Tapestry woven rarely use animal ornament, because it only uses certain animal ornament, example chicken ornament and horse ornament gives the impression of ethnic, others use geometric ornament. ‘Agel’ fiber selection are preferred than synthetic fiber cause good environment and gives the impression of natural objects on the product of weaving tapestries, although some use has been given ‘agel’ fiber textile dye. Author use the style average weaving technique and use the style ‘soumak’ weaving technique as early weaving techniques, and the end of the woven. Macramé as an ornamental in the final wove technique. Author makes three product weaving tapestries with the same size. Each part consists of stories and meanings are almost the same. This product tells the story of an owl gesture as the main objects. The product is expected to find a product innovation and good idea. This product can be used as a reference work of art by utilizing natural fibers for make weaving tapestries
PIV Experimental Comparison of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Wake with Theoretical Models
No full textVertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) operation is characterized by complex and unsteady three-dimensional fluid dynamics, which presents considerable challenges. One of the crucial points to understand is the complex interaction between rotor, inflow, and wake systems. If we can demonstrate its effectiveness in the complex flow/inflow conditions, will be of great importance. To investigate the wake/wind aerodynamics validate state-of-the-art VAWT wake models, a high ¬fidelity experimental measurement in the domain of VAWT wakes is needed. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models for complex wind interactions are far from being feasible. These models are highly time-devouring and computationally expensive, and their cost prohibits the simulation of complex flow configurations. This is usually overcome through the implementation of simple and computationally inexpensive analytical wake models, where the flow conditions are solved through simple analytic expressions and only over specific points of interest. The work aims to realize and validate a simple and efficient analytical wake model (Abkar, 2019 [2]), (Bastankhah & Porté¬Agel, 2014 [7]) for prediction of the wind velocity profile downwind of a VAWT turbine: The best by comparing the modeling results with a set of particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements of the wakes of an in-house designed VAWT are used as a high-fidelity reference. The present work evaluates and quantifies the influence of the wake deflection produced by the pitch angles of the blades on the scaled VAWT turbine. It reproduces the main phenomena involved in the flow pattern and identifies the general structure of the resulting wake that occurs: under the influence of pitching the blades on the upstream turbine. The configuration consists of a VAWT aligned in the direction of the incoming flow: With a class of cases for different configurations of the turbine are studied for example ¬ deflection of wake through zero pitch, positive 10 degrees pitch, Negative 10 degrees pitch angles (Mendoza et al, 2019 [32]). The available power distribution over other hypothetical downwind turbines due to the influence of wake deflection by the upstream turbine is studied and reported. These interactions are measured with the help of large ¬scale PIV experiments in OJF, TU Delft. Also, an efficacious force balance system for the VAWT rotor is studied, designed, and fabricated (in-house) to calculate the accurate lift and drag forces on the VAWT structure. The stereo particle image velocimetry results are compared with two theoretical works Jensen wake model, [21] and Gaussian-based wake model Abkar [2] and CFD simulations by Huang et al [18]. The study shows a wake shift towards the windward side (cross-flow width), Negative¬ Y direction. For all the pitch cases, maximum for the positive pitch angle and least for a negative pitch angle. The wake shift in the negative ¬Y direction can be caused by the blade rotation, with the clockwise rotation of the VAWT rotor, and the rear blade turning into the incoming flow of wind. The theoretical models especially the Gaussian-based wake model represent the wake deficit in close agreement to the experimental results but fails to account for wake shift and change in wake structure. The CFD simulations reproduce the 3D wake structures consistent with the experiment results but show an early recovery in the wake. The wake recovery with downwind available power is found higher with a positive pitch angle and least with the negative pitch. A study of in-plane velocity vectors indicates crosswind force introducing crosswind momentum to the flow and as a result would give rise to the CVPs, also according to a study by Rolin F, Porte-Agel [38]. The theoretical models do not account for any of these structural changes in wake and the deflections in them. Furthermore, the suitability of these experimental references are used to verify the CFD simulations and analytical models’ range of the fidelityElectrical Engineering | Sustainable Energy Technolog

Get PDFMost parents get overwhelmed in guiding their children's learning progress at home because not all come from educational backgrounds. Some parents are also busy at work and don't have enough time to teach their children intensively, so their children's education during this pandemic is not going as well as it should. This study is aim to investigate and to dig deeper into each of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges faced to improve and develop learning strategies with SWOT analysis. This study was a qualitative content analysis approach. Content analysis is a qualitative research technique that emphasize the constancy of communication content, the meaning of communication content, the reading of symbols and the meaning of symbolic interactions that occur in communication (Bungin, 2011). The information collected was then analyzed and described in prose. The steps taken were: data collection, SWOT analysis (determining strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats), and finding development or improvement strategies. The result showed by changing the recruitment process through the placement test process, adding program variations, and most importantly, creating teaching materials developed by themselves so that the curriculum in the course can run clearly and systematically and the seriousness of the institution in preparing the learning process can be felt by consumers
