The potential of airfoil optimisation for the specific requirements of airborne wind energy (AWE) systems is investigated. Experimental and numerical investigations were conducted at high Reynolds numbers for the S1223 airfoil and an optimised airfoi...
The RC propeller performance under steady and sinusoidally time-varying freestream (stream-wise or longitudinal gust) was investigated in the University of Dayton Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (UD-LSWT) in the open-jet configuration. The propellers were test...
With the growing expansion of renewable sources around the world, wind energy is among those that stand out. With the advances of technology, wind turbine projects have considerably increased their power, reaching higher power, mainly for offshore in...
In this quick study, we estimated the Weibull distribution’s parameters using wind data collected between March 2017 and January 2018 using a twelve-meter mast meteorological station on the grounds of the National Energy Research Center in Khar...
As one of the preferred types of renewable energy, wind energy is rapidly growing. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth numerical analysis on the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) 5-MW offshore wind turbine to help...
Most of the Brazilian territory is classified as a hot and humid climate, whose natural ventilation is one of the most important passive design strategies. The use of this strategy can be enhanced in the design through the shed roof air collectors or...
Wave data play a critical role in offshore structure design and coastal vulnerability studies. For various reasons, such as equipment malfunctions, wave data are often incomplete. Despite the interest in completing the data, few studies have consider...
As offshore wind capacity could grow substantially in the coming years, floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are particularly expected to make a significant contribution to the anticipated global installed capacity. However, FOWTs are prone to sev...
