A review of current technical development in vertical axis wind turbine technologies and their braking system for low speed, urban and offshore areas application (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Syawitri, T., Yao, Y., & Chandra, B. (2018, October). A review of current technical development in vertical axis wind turbine technologies and their braking system for low speed, urban and offshore areas application. Paper presented at International Conference of Global Warming and Climate Change 2018, Bangkok, Thailand

Recently, there are growing interests of using Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) to harvest wind energy from low wind speed in urban areas to relatively high wind speed in offshore wind farms. Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) has been known to hav...

Slat broadband noise prediction of multi-element 30P30N airfoil by a hybrid RANS-LES method (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Peng, T., Yao, Y., & Zhu, Q. (2018, March). Slat broadband noise prediction of multi-element 30P30N airfoil by a hybrid RANS-LES method. Paper presented at 53rd 3AF International Conference on Applied Aerodynamics, Salon de Provence, France

This paper presents a combined CFD and CAA study to assess the slat noise emissions from a multi-element 30P30N airfoil at the 5-degree and 8-degree angle of attack, using a hybrid RANS-LES method. In this simulation, the structured mesh is used and... Read More about Slat broadband noise prediction of multi-element 30P30N airfoil by a hybrid RANS-LES method.
