Stereoscopic PIV measurement in laminar rotating plane Couette flow
No full textPlane Couette flow with spanwise system rotation shows structures of streamwise-oriented roll cells that arise due to the instability by the Coriolis force when the system rotation is in the opposite direction to the mean flow vorticity. The momentum transport caused by such roll cell structures makes the flow tend to exhibit zero absolute vorticity. In the present study, stereoscopic PIV measurements in the rotating plane Couette flow were carried out in order to further illuminate the vortex structures and transport phenomena in this flow. The Reynolds stresses and some terms of its transport equation were evaluated to discuss the transport phenomena caused by the coherent structure. Furthermore, the wall shear stress was evaluated based on the measurement results of the Reynolds and viscous shear stresses and its variation with the system rotation rate is also presented
Generalized diagnostic scaling for high-order moments in turbulent boundary layers
No full textThe present work builds upon the diagnostic plot for the streamwise turbulence intensity [Alfredsson & Örlü, 2010] and generalises it for higher-order (even and odd) moments providing a general description of the probability density distribution of streamwise velocity fluctuations. Turbulent boundary layers (up to a friction Reynolds number of 20'000) are employed and demonstrate its feasibility to scale data throughout the overlap and outer region
PV architectures for DC microgrids using buck or boost exclusive microconverters
No full textDC microgrids can connect directly dc renewable energy sources with increasing amount of dc loads. In this paper it is looked for possible architectures for integrating PV panels into dc microgrids, by means of microconverter strings. Three topologies are considered, featuring only buck microconverters and only boost microconverters, since they promise higher efficiency due to fewer semiconductors in the current path. The topologies under exam are tested with a perturb and observe MPPT, in the cases of abrupt local shading and uneven shading over a solar panels' array. Among the three, the best topology by response time and control ease is found.Accepted Author ManuscriptOld - EWI-ESE-DC&S DC systems & StorageElectrical Power Processin
