Experimental assessment of scale-effects on the aerodynamic characterization of a transitionally-operating airfoil working under clean flow conditionsExperimental assessment of scale-effects on the aerodynamic characterisation of a transitionally-operating airfoil working under clean flow conditions
(Elsevier, 2022)
Wind tunnel tests are carried out upon a NACA0021 airfoil subjected to transitional Reynolds numbers. Transitionally-operating airfoils show a high sensitivity to external conditions and pose relevant measurement issues ...
A holistic optimization tool for the design of power take-off systems in realistic wave climates: The Wells turbine case
(Elsevier, 2023)
The growing demand of energy coupled with the worldwide commitments in favor of renewable technologies turns marine renewable sources especially attractive, including wave energy. In particular, the oscillating water column ...
Impact of turbulence and blade surface degradation on the annual energy production of small-scale wind turbines
(Wiley, 2023)
Small-scale horizontal axis wind-turbines (SHAWTs) are acquiring relevance withinthe regulatory policies of the wind sector aiming at net-zero emissions, while reduc-ing visual and environmental impact by means of distributed ...
Marangoni-driven pattern formation in an absorbing binary mixture
(American Institute of Physics, 2024-10-21)
We investigate the evolution of convective instability in a LiBr-water binary mixture, driven by thermal and solutal Marangoni stresses, through numerical simulations. A small perturbation in absorption at the surface ...
