The ground effect of a scaled model rotor at hover condition was investigated experimentally in a confined environment. Different ground effect scenarios including full, partial, and inclined conditions, compared to out of ground condition, were characterized qualitatively and quantitatively using laser illuminated smoke visualization and Laser Doppler Anemometry measurements. The results indicate that the presence of the ground affects the flow regime near the blade tip by changing the spatial extent and the path of the vortex core. After the impingement of the wake to the ground, highly unsteady and turbulent wake is observed. Both the mean and the root mean square of the induced velocity increase toward the blade tip. In line with this, the spectral power of the dominant frequency in the velocity fluctuations significantly increases toward the blade tip. All these observations are witnessed in all ground effect conditions tested in the present study. Considering the inclined ground effect in particular, it is observed that the mean induced velocities of the high side (mountain) are higher compared to the velocities of the low side (valley) in contrast to the general trend observed in the present study where the ground effect reduces the induced velocity.

Effect of hydraulic parameters on the formation of vortices at intake structures
Baykara, Ali; Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the hydraulic conditions at which air-entraining vortices would form in front of horizontal intakes and to determine the ways of eliminating the formation of these vortices by testing anti-vortex devices. For these reasons, a series of experiments were conducted in an experimental setup composed of a reservoir having the dimensions of 3.10 m x 3.10 m x 2.20 m and a pump connected to the intake pipe. Within the reservoir, between the concrete side walls a...
Effects of mie vanes and tip injection on the performance and wake characteristics of HAWT
Anik, Ezgi; Abdulrahim, Anas; Uzol, Oğuz (null; 2016-01-08)
This paper presents the results of an experimental study that focuses on the tip leakage/vortex control of a model horizontal axis wind turbine rotor. The effects of Mie vanes and tip injection on the performance and wake characteristics of a model horizontal axis wind turbine rotor are investigated through experiments that are conducted by placing a specially designed three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine rotor at the exit of an open-jet wind tunnel facility. The rotor blades are non-linearly twisted a...
Reduction of dynamic earth loads on flexible cantilever retaining walls by deformable geofoam panels
ERTUĞRUL, ÖZGÜR LÜTFİ; Trandafir, Aurelian C.; Özkan, M. Yener (2017-01-01)
The potential application of geofoam in reducing the dynamic earth forces on flexible cantilever earth retaining walls was investigated through small-scale physical model tests. Tests were carried out using a state-of-the-art laminar container and a uniaxial shaking table. Deformable geofoam panels of low stiffness made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) geofoam were utilized as compressible inclusions in the present study. The dynamic stress-strain properties of these geomateria...
Effect of steady and transient wind shear on the wake structure and performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine rotor
SEZER UZOL, NİLAY; Uzol, Oğuz (2013-01-01)
This paper presents an investigation of the effect of steady and transient free-stream wind shear on the wake structure and performance characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine rotor. A new three-dimensional unsteady vortex-panel method potential flow solver based on a free-vortex wake methodology, AeroSIM+, is used for this purpose. The code is validated using the experimental data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiments. The effects of vortex core model, co...
Effect of steady and transient wind shear on the wake structure and performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine rotor
Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Uzol, Oğuz (2009-12-01)
This paper presents an investigation of the effect of steady and transient freestream wind shear on the wake structure and performance characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine rotor. A new 3-D unsteady vortex-panel method potential flow solver based on a free-vortex-wake methodology, AeroSIM, is used for this purpose. The code is validated using the experimental data from the NREL UAE experiments, as well as checked against the theoretical models developed by previous researchers. Three-different i...
