2010Résumé
Though wind turbines and windmills have been used for centuries, the application of aerodynamics technology to improve reliability and reduce costs of wind-generated energy has only been pursued in earnest for the past 40 years. Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity. Wind is a renewable energy source. Power production from wind turbines is affected by certain conditions: wind speed, turbine speed, turbulence and the changes of wind direction. These conditions are not always optimal and have negative effects on most turbines. The present turbine is supposed to be less affected by these conditions because the blades combine a rotating movement around each own axis and around the nacelle’s one. Due to this combination of movements, flow around this turbine can be more highly unsteady, because of great blade stagger angles. The turbine has a rotor with three straight blades of symmetrical airfoil. Paper presents unsteady simulations that have been performed for one wind velocity, and different initial blades stagger angles. The influence of interaction of blades is studied for one specific constant rotational speed among the four rotational speeds that have been studied.

Communication avec acteISSA, Abir; BAYEUL-LAINE, Annie-Claude; BOIS, Gérard (CMFF - Conference on Modelling Fluid Flow, 2009)Water for irrigation, domestic and industrial supply as well for some power generation is normally drawn directly from rivers or from reservoir through sumps. The flow at the pump section sump may have large effects on the ...

Article dans une revue avec comité de lectureBAYEUL-LAINE, Annie-Claude; BOIS, Gérard; ISSA, Abir (IOP - Institute of Physics, 2010)There are several important considerations in the design of a suction supply sump. It is imperative that the amount of turbulence and entrained air be kept to a minimum. Free aircore vortex occurring at a water-intake pipe ...

Communication avec acteISSA, Abir; BAYEUL-LAINE, Annie-Claude; BOIS, Gérard (IAHR - The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research, 2008)Two fundamental types of flow problems besetting water intakes are swirling flow problems in the pump sump and sediment problems at entrance or within intakes. Both problems reduce intake performance and lead to increased ...
