    Analytical solution for the cumulative wake of yawed wind turbines

    No full text
    This thesis sets out to improve the physical grounding and predictive accuracy of cumulative wake effect modelling within wind farms with yawed turbines. It derives an analytical solution for the lateral velocity field within a wind farm and compares its predictions to those of computational fluid dynamics.A parametric study is performed using a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver with the k-ε-fP turbulence model, Joukowsky rotor-based actuator disc, and neutral log-law inflow within the PyWakeEllipSys framework to determine the effects of yaw angle, thrust coefficient, and turbulence intensity on the lateral wake.The results of this parametric study are used to solve an approximate form of conservation of mass and momentum in the lateral direction for a turbine within a wind farm. The solution is an explicit equation predicting the lateral velocity distribution and lateral wake deflection within a wind farm of arbitrary layout and with arbitrarily yawed turbines. It also provides a first mathematical proof of secondary wake steering. The solution is implemented in Python and used to predict the velocity distributions in several wind farm cases, including for a single turbine, a two-turbine arrangement, and two wind farm cases with aligned and staggered layouts. These predictions are then compared against those of the RANS setup. The model significantly overestimates wake deflections unless corrected to neglect the near wake, but the corrected version shows promise, particularly in predicting wind farm power of the staggered layout, where the prediction is 19% closer to the RANS result than the prediction that considers lateral velocities equal to zero.https://github.com/NilsGaukroger/Analytical-solution-for-the-cumulative-wake-of-yawed-wind-turbinesEuropean Wind Energy Masters (EWEM) | Rotor Design Trac

    The numerical solution of waveguide discontinuity problems

    No full text
    A computational method for solving a wide range of transverse and longitudinal waveguide discontinuity problems is described. Results are obtained by the simultaneous solution of matrix equations, generated by Fourier analysis, which relate the complex amplitudes of orthogonal electric and magnetic field components. In some cases the solution is found to be sensitive to the way in which infinite series of field functions are truncated, and it is shown how the optimum form of truncation can be determined for many configurations of practical importance. Several examples showing the application of the method are given, and comparison of results with those obtained by experiment, and by other analytical techniques, confirms its accuracy. The application of the method in the design of discontinuities for higher-mode generation in multimode antennas is considered, particularly in connection with a multimode monopulse feed for a satellite-communication reflector antenna. Primary and secondary characteristics are determined theoretically for various modeconverter configurations, allowing those giving satisfactory allround performance to be selected. Comparison with conventional feeds shows the multimode feed to be superior in many respects. A prototype multimode feed is constructed, and theoretical primary radiation patterns are compared with those obtained experimentally

    A Monte Carlo Solution to the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov Equation for Resummation in Perturbative QCD

    No full text
    A simple solution to the BFKL equation is obtained as a series in the number of real gluons emitted with transverse momentum greater than some small cutoff ¯. This solution reveals physics inside the BFKL ladder which is hidden in the standard inclusive solution, and lends itself to a straightforward Monte Carlo implementation. With this approach one can explore new useful physical observables, which are shown to be independent of the cutoff ¯. In addition, this approach allows the imposition of kinematic constraints (such as energy conservation) which are important at finite energies. The distribution of P E? of particles in a central rapidity bin between two widely-spaced jets is presented as an example. The BFKL (Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov) equation [1], which systematically resums powers of ff s times large rapidity intervals or logarithms of Feynman x in perturbative QCD, has recently moved from the purely theoretical realm to the phenomenological arena. The classic predic..

    Packet Switching in Radio Channels: Part Il-The Hidden Terminal Problem in Carrier Sense

    No full text
    Abstracf-We consider a population of terminals communicating with a central station over a packet-switched multiple-access radio channel. The performance of carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) [l] used as a method for multiplexing these terminals is highly de-pendent on the ability of each terminal to sense the carrier of any other transmission on the channel. Many situations exist in which some terminals are “hidden ” from each other (either because they are out-of-sight or out-of-range). In this paper we show that the existence of hidden terminals significantly degrades the performance of CSMA. Furthermore, we introduce and analyze the busy-tone multiple-access (BTMA) mode as a natural extension of CSMA to eliminate the hidden-terminal problem. Numerical results giving the bandwidth utilization and packet delays are shown, illustrating that BTMA with hidden terminals performs almost as well as CSMA without hidden terminals. I

    Wavelet-Based Adaptive Solution for the Nonuniform Multiconductor Transmission Lines

    No full text
    Abstract—A time-domain technique for the solution of arbi-trary nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines (NMTL’s) is presented. The technique is based on a weak formulation of the NMTL equations obtained through spatial expansion of the voltage and current vectors into biorthogonal wavelet func-tions. Wavelets allow adaptive representations of the solution by using few expansion coefficients, with any fixed approximation order. The set of significant expansion coefficients is determined automatically from the solution, which can be computed very efficiently. A numerical example illustrates the high adaptivity of the method.

    A Co-simulation Solution for Vehicle-Track Interaction Dynamics Problems

    No full text
    A co-simulation solution based on direct equilibrium of contact forces is proposed to simulate vehicle-track interaction (VTI) dynamics. It is developed in two platforms, which presents an iterative feedback loop that exchanges contact force files and structure response field in real-time. The load vector acting on the structure is described by a moving Gaussian pulse, which approximates the Dirac-delta function. Through this approach, system matrices are not exported and the additional identification of the correspondence between structure nodes and vehicle positions is avoided, which is contrary to the typical scheme in existing co-simulation methods for VTI problems. The direct information exchange in the current solution simplifies the VTI model development, making it easier for the application in track design and maintenance phase. The solution is demonstrated by a general beam model subject to a quarter car and has been calibrated and verified by benchmark cases coded in MATLAB. The example presented is a baseline model for demonstration purposes. And the proposed scheme allows for flexibility in incorporating more complex structure configurations and vehicle motions for further study.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Integral Design & ManagementEngineering Structure
