Turbulence damping above the cloud height in suspensions of concentrated slurries in stirred tanks
Ayrancı Tansık, İnci (2021-02-01)
Poor mixing in the clear liquid layer above the cloud height has been reported by several authors. This study uses LDV measurements to quantify turbulence above the cloud using a liquid level of 1.5 T to remove the barrier of a free surface at H = T. A D = T/3, down-pumping PBT was used at an off-bottom clearance of C = T/3. Three slurries were tested at impeller speeds 0.8, 1, and 1.2N(js). The change in turbulence was quantified using the normalized root mean square (RMS) of the fluctuating velocity summe...

This study explores the effects of rotational mechanisms on the characteristics of the leading edge vortex (LEV) by comparing translating and revolving flexible wings that are started from rest. Tomographic particle image velocimetry (tomographic-PIV) technique was employed to acquire three-dimensional flow fields for the revolving wings, while planar flow fields for the case of translating wings were acquired via 2D2C-PIV measurements. The comparison of flow fields between the two motion kinematics reveal...
Flow Structure on Nonslender Delta Wing: Reynolds Number Dependence and Flow Control
Zharfa, Mohammadreza; Ozturk, Ilhan; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2016-03-01)
The flow structure over a 35 deg swept delta wing is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using techniques of laser-illuminated smoke visualization, laser Doppler anemometry, and surface-pressure measurements. The effects of Reynolds numbers and attack angles on the evaluation of flow patterns are addressed within the broad range of Reynolds number 10(4) < Re < 10(5) and attack angle 3 deg < alpha < 10 deg. In addition, the effect of steady blowing through the leading edges of the wing on flow structure...
Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a parallel genetic algorithm
Polat, Ozge; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2013-12-31)
An aerodynamic shape optimization methodology based on Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum theory is developed for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines Optimization studies are performed for the maximization of power production at a specific wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver with a boundary layer model, XFOIL, provides sectional aerodynamic loads. The sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid and tip regions of the b...
