Augmentation of Power Output of Axisymmetric Ducted Wind Turbines by Porous Trailing Edge Disks
(2014-06-30)This paper presents analytical and experimental results that demonstrated that the power output from a ducted wind turbine can be dramatically increased by the addition of a trailing edge device such as a porous disk. In ... -
Potential Flow Calculations of Axisymmetric Ducted Wind Turbines
(2009-09-02)An incompressible potential-flow vortex method has been constructed to analyze the flow field of a ducted wind turbine following that outlined by Lewis (1991). Attention is paid to balancing the momentum change in the ...
