Control of friction by imposing vibration between sliding surfaces and its influence on the efficiency of gears (2022)
Thesis

The worm and wheel type gear arrangement is the usual choice for heavy duty applications requiring large operating torques. However, it is dominated by the sliding action of gear teeth which causes high frictional losses that significantly impact eff...

Investigation of flow augmentation and dynamic stall control devices as performance enhancement of lift-driven vertical axis wind turbine using high-fidelity CFD methods (2022)
Thesis

This study performs an investigation of dynamic stall control (Gurney flap (GF)) and flow augmentation (straight upstream deflector (SUD)) devices to improve the performance of lift-driven Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) as they can improve the pow...
