The aim of this study is to simulate atmospheric ice accretion on wind turbine blades and to estimate power losses. A computational tool is developed that comprises six modules, one for estimating the local flow velocity and the angle of attack using the Blade Element Momentum Method (BEM), one for solving the flow field employing the Panel Method, one for computing the droplet trajectories with the Lagrangian approach, a module for calculating the convective heat transfer coefficients using the Integral Boundary Layer equations, an ice accretion module utilizing Extended Messinger Model and a module calculating power production by using BEM.

Comparative study of transient and quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of composite wind turbine blade in steady wind conditions Sargın, Hakan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative study of the transient and quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of a composite wind turbine blade in steady wind conditions. Transient analysis of the wind turbine blade is performed by the multi-body dynamic code Samcef Wind Turbine which uses blade element momentum theory for aerodynamic load calculation. For this purpose, a multi-body wind turbine model is generated with rigid components except for the turbine blades. For the purposes of the study, a r...
Classical Aeroelastic Stability Analysis of Large Composite Wind Turbine Blades Farsadi, Touraj; Kayran, Altan (2016-01-04) To achieve higher energy production bigger wind turbine systems with very long blades are increasingly used in the wind turbine industry. As the length of the wind turbine blades is increased, blades become more flexible in bending and torsion. Increased bending and torsional flexibility of long wind turbine blades may cause torsional divergence and flapwise bending-torsion flutter at high speeds. Therefore, it is important that aeroelastic stability characteristics of the blades be investigated to ensure t...
Numerical analysis of regenerative cooling in liquid propellant rocket engines Ulaş, Abdullah (2013-01-01) High combustion temperatures and long operation durations require the use of cooling techniques in liquid propellant rocket engines (LPRE). For high-pressure and high-thrust rocket engines, regenerative cooling is the most preferred cooling method. Traditionally, approximately square cross sectional cooling channels have been used. However, recent studies have shown that by increasing the coolant channel height-to-width aspect ratio and changing the cross sectional area in non-critical regions for heat flux...
Numerical modeling of wave diffraction in one-dimensional shoreline change model Baykal, Cüneyt; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study, available coastal models are briefly discussed and under wind waves and a numerical shoreline change model for longshore sediment transport based on “one-line” theory is developed. In numerical model, wave diffraction phenomenon in one-dimensional modeling is extensively discussed and to represent the irregular wave diffraction in the sheltered zones of coastal structures a simpler approach based on the methodology introduced by Kamphuis (2000) is proposed. Furthermore, the numerical model re...
Transient Thermochemical Erosion Modeling for Solid Propellant Rocket Motor Nozzles Including the Effect of Shape Change and Anisotropy Onay, Oğuz; Eyi, Sinan (2018-06-25) In this study, a loosely coupled thermochemical erosion model is developed for the nozzle throat erosion calculations of the solid propellant rocket motors. The flow is assumed to be quasi-steady and the solid domain is updated at each time step of the solid conduction solution. Flow and solid domains are assumed to be axisymmetric. Heterogeneous finite rate surface reactions are used on the wall surface and mass and energy balances are implemented. Effects of anisotropy and the shape change are included to...
