Symmetry breaking due to the presence of a mean azimuthal flow splits the degenerate thermoacoustic eigenvalues, resulting in pairs of counter-spinning modes with close but distinct frequencies and growth rates. In this study, experiments have been performed using an annular system where the thermoacoustic feedback due to the flames is mimicked by twelve identical electro-acoustic feedback loops. The mean azimuthal flow is generated by fans. We investigate the standing/spinning nature of the oscillations as a function of the azimuthal Mach number for two types of initial states and how the stability of the system is affected by the mean azimuthal flow. It is found that spinning, standing, or mixed modes can be encountered at very low Mach number, but increasing the mean velocity promotes one spinning direction. At sufficiently high Mach number, only spinning modes are observed in the limit cycle oscillations. In some cases, the initial conditions have a significant impact on the final state of the system. It is found that the presence of a mean azimuthal flow increases the acoustic damping. This has a beneficial effect on stability: it often reduces the amplitude of the self-sustained oscillations, and can even suppress them in some cases. However, we observe that the suppression of a mode due to the mean flow may destabilize another one. We discuss our findings in relation to an existing low-order model.}, note = {GTP-20-1401}, keywords = {thermoacoustic oscillations, electroacoustic feedback, annular combustor, azimuthal mean flow, acoustic damping}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4048693}, language = {English}, DOI = {doi.org/10.1115/1.4048693}, author = {Humbert, S. and Moeck, J. and Orchini, A. and Paschereit, C.

Usually, the knowledge of a Flame Transfer Function is used to predict the onset of thermoacoustic instabilities. However, it is also possible to take advantage of it to model a flame response and study experimentally thermoacoustic phenomena without flames. This is exploited in the present study, in which a novel annular setup for the study of thermoacoustics in annular combustors is presented. The thermoacoustic feedback is replaced by electroacoustic feedback. The pressure fluctuations, measured by a microphone, are delayed and filtered and then sent to a loudspeaker, which produces acoustic perturbations, closing the loop. Each flame model parameter can be varied in a flexible way, which allows to choose combinations of parameters that generate modal behaviours of interest in the experiments. For example, this setup can trigger on demand various configurations which exhibit multiple unstable modes, leading to diverse modal competition scenarios. This allows to assess the multi-input Describing Function method, which is used to predict the frequency and amplitude of each mode contributing to thermoacoustic oscillations, when multiple modes are linearly unstable. The experimental validation of predictions from this method, which can be somewhat cumbersome and expensive in the presence of flames, is facilitated by this setup, in which all parameters and boundary conditions are well known and the noise remains negligible.

In particular, Gurney Flaps (GFs) showed a great potential thanks to the passive functioning, the simple construction and the possibility to add them as a retrofit to existing rotors. Within this context, the authors have performed an extended investigation on the lift increase capabilities of GFs for the well-known NACA 0021 airfoil, which has been used in several wind energy applications up to now. The present paper shows the results of a combined experimental and numerical analysis considering different geometrical configurations of the flaps under both static and dynamic conditions. Experimental data were first obtained for the AoA range of 180 degrees at a Reynolds number of 180 k to analyze the impact of three different geometrical configurations of the GF on the aerodynamic behavior. The geometrical configurations were defined by varying the length of the flap (1.4 \% and 2.5 \% of the chord) and its inclination angle with respect to the blade chord (90 degrees and 45 degrees). The experimental investigation involved also dynamic sinusoidal pitching movements at multiple reduced frequencies to evaluate the stall hysteresis cycle.

This concept aims for a quasi-homogeneous auto-ignition that induces a moderate rise in pressure. Since the ignition is not triggered by an external source but driven primarily by chemical kinetics, the homogeneity of the auto-ignition is very sensitive to local perturbations in equivalence ratio, temperature, and pressure that produce undesired local premature ignition. Therefore, the precise injection of a well-defined fuel profile into a convecting air flow is crucial to ensure a quasi-homogeneous ignition of the entire mixture. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the injected fuel profile is preserved throughout the entire measurement section. For this, two different control trajectories are investigated. Optical measurement techniques are used to illustrate the effect of turbulent transport and dispersion caused by boundary layer effects on the fuel concentration profile. Results from line-of-sight measurements by tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy indicate that the transport of the fuel-air mixture is dominated by turbulent diffusion. However, comparisons to numerical calculations reveal the effect of dispersion toward the bounds of the fuel concentration profile. The spatially resolved distributions of the fuel concentration inside the combustor gained from acetone planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) replicates a typical velocity distribution of turbulent pipe flow in radial direction visualizing boundary layer effects. Comparing both methods provides deep insights into the transport processes that have an impact on the operation of the SEC.}, note = {GTP-20-1504}, keywords = {Combustion chambers, fuels, lasers, air flow, cycles, explosions, fluorescence}, url = {https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/gasturbinespower/article/143/1/011008/1091867/Investigation-of-the-Fuel-Distribution-in-a}, DOI = {https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4049220}, author = {Y{\"u}cel, F. and Habicht, F. and Jaeschke, A. and L{\"u}ckoff, F. and Paschereit, C.

Two well-known combustion models, the turbulent flame speed closure (TFC) and the dynamically thickened flame (DTF) models have been applied to a premixed turbulent jet flame with otherwise identical numerical setups. Although the flame front is artificially thickened in the DTF model, it reproduces a thinner flame and, hence, stronger flame-turbulence interactions compared to the TFC model. As the time-averaged quantities from both methods are comparable, the DTF approach shows overall higher fluctuations of local and integral heat release rates in the spectral domain compared to the TFC model, particularly in the high-frequency range. A better agreement with measured sound pressure density is observed for TFC in the low-frequency range and for DTF in the high-frequency range. TFC simulations with different source formulations, that is, \(\omega\)˙¯¯c\(\propto\)c˜(1−c˜) and \(\omega\)˙¯¯c\(\propto\)∣∣∇c˜∣∣, showed comparable flame thicknesses and spectra of heat release, but the averaged flow quantities calculated with \(\omega\)˙¯¯c\(\propto\)∣∣∇c˜∣∣, however, deviate largely from measured data for the current setup. In the second step, the same formulations for the mean rate are applied to an excited plane-jet flame (two-dimensional (2D)) using equidistant grid cells and forced inflow conditions, thereby excluding the influence of varying grid resolution and broadband turbulent fluctuations. This setup is specifically tailored for a detailed analysis of flame response to flow unsteadiness and grid resolution. The formulation of the reaction rate according to the TFC approach again results in a considerably thicker flame compared to results obtained from the DTF model and direct numerical simulation, even on a sufficiently fine mesh. Therefore, the DTF formulation of the reaction rate shows overall stronger responses of heat release rates to forced fluctuations than the TFC formulation. Differences are smaller in the low-frequency range, indicating a stronger damping of heat release fluctuations with increasing frequency for the TFC formulation. Coarsening the grid leads to a much stronger damping of heat release fluctuations in the DTF formulation compared with the TFC formulation, so that the benefit of the DTF formulation decreases with decreasing grid resolution. This reflects the different sensitivity behavior of these models with respect to unsteady flows and grid resolutions, which is of great importance for computing thermoacoustic problems with LES, for example, combustion noise.}, keywords = {Large eddy simulation, turbulent premixed flame, turbulent flame speed, thickened flame approach, OpenFOAM}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1080/00102202.2018.1558218}, language = {English}, DOI = {10.1080/00102202.2018.1558218}, author = {Zhang, F. and Zirwes, T. and Habisreuther, P. and Bockhorn, H. and Dimosthenis, T. and Nawroth, H. and Paschereit, C.

Thus, it is interesting to find flow control solutions, which will remove or remote recirculation zones due to separation edges with appropriate control techniques. In automotive sales, the SUV, 4x4 and compact cars represent a large part of the market share and the study of control approaches for this geometry is practically useful.

However, the relevant technical literature lacks data in deep and post stall regions for nearly every airfoil. Within this context, the present study shows experimental and numerical results for the well-known NACA 0021 airfoil, which is often used for Darrieus VAWT design. Experimental data were obtained through dedicated wind tunnel measurements of a NACA 0021 airfoil with surface pressure taps, which provided further insight into the pressure coefficient distribution across a wide range of AoAs. The measurements were conducted at two different Reynolds umbers (Re=140k and Re=180k): each experiment was performed multiple times to ensure repeatability. Dynamic AoA changes were also investigated at multiple reduced frequencies. Moreover, dedicated unsteady numerical simulations were carried out on the same airfoil shape to reproduce both the static polars of the airfoil and some relevant dynamic AoA variation cycles tested in the experiments. The solved flow fieldwas then exploited both to get further insight into the flow mechanisms highlighted by the wind tunnel tests and to provide correction factors to discard the influence of the experimental apparatus, making experiments representative of open-field behaviour.

Various bi-stable flow phenomena are discussed based on high frequency measurements revealing large lift-fluctuations in the post and deep stall regime that exceed the maximum lift of the static polars and are not captured by averaged measurements. Detailed surface pressure distributions are discussed to provide further insight into the flow conditions and pressure development during dynamic motion.

The inherent unsteady and three-dimensional aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) have hitherto limited the research on wake evolution. In this paper the wakes of both a troposkien and a H-type VAWT rotor are investigated by comparing experiments and calculations. Experiments were carried out in the large-scale wind tunnel of the Politecnico di Milano, where unsteady velocity measurements in the wake were performed by means of hot wire anemometry. The geometry of the rotors was reconstructed in the open-source wind-turbine software QBlade, developed at the TU Berlin. The aerodynamic model makes use of a lifting line free-vortex wake (LLFVW) formulation, including an adapted Beddoes-Leishman unsteady aerodynamic model; airfoil polars are introduced to assign sectional lift and drag coefficients. A wake sensitivity analysis was carried out to maximize the reliability of wake predictions. The calculations are shown to reproduce several wake features observed in the experiments, including blade-tip vortex, dominant and submissive vortical structures, and periodic unsteadiness caused by sectional dynamic stall. The experimental assessment of the simulations illustrates that the LLFVW model is capable of predicting the unsteady wake development with very limited computational cost, thus making the model ideal for the design and optimization of VAWTs.}, url = {http://proceedings.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=2650574}, publisher = {ASME}, series = {Volume 9: Oil and Gas Applications; Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles; Wind Energy}, booktitle = {ASME Turbo Expo 2017: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition}, organization = {ASME}, event_place = {Charlotte, North Carolina, USA}, event_name = {ASME Turbo Expo 2017: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition}, event_date = {26 - 30 Juni 2017}, language = {English}, ISBN = {ISBN: 978-0-7918-5096-1}, DOI = {10.1115/GT2017-64004}, author = {Saverin, J. and Marten, D. and Holst, D. and Pechlivanloglou, G. and Nayeri, C.

A single blade was tested at two different flow velocities at a range of angles of attack with flow tuft visualisation and hotwire measurements of the wake. Hotwire wake measurements were able to show the gradual inception and ending of certain flow regimes. The power spectral densities of these measurements were normalized in terms of Strouhal number based on the projected chord to show that certain wake features have a relatively constant Strouhal number. The shedding frequency appears then to be relatively independent of chord taper and twist. Vortex generators were tested but were found to have little influence in this case.

Air traffic is also contributing to climate warming via emissions of CO2 and various non-CO2 effects, such as contrail-cirrus or increase in ozone concentrations. Here we investigate the climate impact of a future aircraft design, a multi fuel blended wing body (MF-BWB), conceptually designed within the EU-project AHEAD. We re-calculate the parameters for the contrail formation criterion, since this aircraft has very different characteristics compared to conventional technologies and show that contrail formation potentially already occurs at lower altitudes than for conventional aircraft. The geometry of the contrails, however, is similar to conventional aircraft, as detailed LES simulations show. The global contrail-cirrus coverage and related radiative forcing is investigated with a climate model including a contrail-cirrus parameterisation and shows an increase in contrail-cirrus radiative forcing compared to conventional technologies, if the number of emitted particles is equal to conventional technologies. However, there are strong indications that the AHEAD engines would have a substantial reduction in the emission of soot particles and there are strong indications that this leads to a substantial reduction in the contrail-cirrus radiative forcing. An overall climate impact assessment with a climate-chemistry response model shows that the climate impact is likely to be reduced by 20 \% to 25 \% compared to a future aircraft with conventional technologies. We further tested the sensitivity of this result with respect to different future scenarios for the use of bio fuels, improvements of the fuel efficiency for conventional aircraft and the impact of the number of emitted soot particles on the radiative forcing. Only the latter has the potential to significantly impact our findings and needs further investigation.

This paper focuses on the aerodynamic consequences resulting from an unqualified airfoil selection and accumulating surface soiling. The high performance low Reynolds profile FX 63-137 is compared to an Eppler-338 wing section as well as to a high performance utility scale wind turbine airfoil, AH 93-W-174 -1ex. We extensively investigated these three different airfoils within the low Reynolds regime between 50,000 and 200,000. This regime is especially important for the starting behavior of a wind turbine, i.e. a quick speed up, and is crucial for small wind turbines because they have more frequent start/stop events. A Reynolds number of 200 k is additionally the operational regime of some sHAWT under the 5-10 kW level. The present study discusses not only the low Reynolds performance of the smooth profiles but investigates the influence of surface soiling. This ranges from 2D disturbances, such as a 0.2mm thin tripwire or several zigzag tapes, up to the simulation of massive sand build up by covering the entire leading edge region with a 40 grit sand paper. The experiments reveal that even small surface soiling has an impact and massive roughness leads in some cases to the loss of 50\% in lift coefficient.

Base flaps are well known as drag reduction devices for bluff bodies and heavy road vehicles. However, for optimal performance their deflection angle should typically not exceed 12\(^{\circ}\). In this paper the primary goal is to increase the usable range of the deflection angles by applying flow control. The secondary goal is to find the most suitable method for flow control. A comparison is made between triangular vortex generators and fluidic oscillators as passive and active flow control methods, respectively. Vortex generators have the advantage of being very simple devices but produce drag. Fluidic oscillators are also quite simple devices but require additional air supply. Their advantages are that they can be activated when needed and that they do not generate additional drag. The wind tunnel model used corresponds to the geometrical dimensions of a 10\% scaled model yielding a Reynolds number of 7·105. Various flap angles with a length of 100mm were attached to the base. Other geometrical parameters such as the height of the vortex generators were also varied as well as their axial position. The results show that base flaps deflected by 20\(^{\circ}\) combined with vortex generators reduce drag by 26\% compared to the baseline. At deflection angles of 22.5\(^{\circ}\) the passive and active concepts show similar drag reduction.

It is attached to an FX 63-137 airfoil which is known for a very good performance at low Reynolds numbers and is therefore used for small wind turbines and is most appropriate for tests in the low speed wind tunnel presented in this study. The Gurney flaps are a promising concept for load control on wind turbines but can have adverse side effects, e.g. shedding of additional vortices. The investigation focuses on frequencies and velocity distributions in the wake as well as on the structure of the induced tip vortices. Phase averaged velocity fields are derived of a Proper-Orthogonal-Decomposition based on the stereo PIV measurements. Additional hot-wire measurements were conducted to analyze the fluctuations downstream of the finite width Gurney flaps. Experiments indicate a general tip vortex structure that is independent from flap length but altered by the periodic shedding downstream of the flap. The influence of Gurney flaps on a small wind turbine is investigated by simulating a small 40 kW turbine in Q-Blade. They can serve as power control without the need of an active pitch system and the starting performance is additionally improved. The application of Gurney flaps imply tonal frequencies in the wake of the blade. Simulation results are used to estimate the resulting frequencies. However, the solution of Gurney flaps is a good candidate for large scale wind turbine implementation as well. A FAST simulation of the NREL 5MW turbine is used to generate realistic time series of the lift. The estimations of control capabilities predict a reduction in the standard deviation of the lift of up to 65\%.

Experiments suggest the existence of a self-excited global mode having a single dominant frequency. This oscillatory mode is shown to be absolutely unstable and leads to a rotating counter-winding helical structure that is located at the periphery of the recirculation zone. The resulting time-periodic 3D velocity field is predicted theoretically as being the most unstable mode determined by parabolized stability analysis employing the mean flow data from experiments. The 3D oscillatory flow is constructed from uncorrelated 2D snapshots of particle image velocimetry data, using proper orthogonal decomposition, a phase-averaging technique and an azimuthal symmetry associated with helical structures. Stability-derived modes and empirically derived modes correspond remarkably well, yielding prototypical coherent structures that dominate the investigated flow region. The proposed method of constructing 3D time-periodic velocity fields from uncorrelated 2D data is applicable to a large class of turbulent shear flows.}, note = {Available on CJO}, url = {http://journals.cambridge.org/article_S0022112011001418}, DOI = {10.1017/jfm.2011.141}, author = {Oberleithner, K. and Sieber, M. and Nayeri, C.

Investigations are performed firstly in cold flow and are validated with reacting flow measurements. A new cold flow mixing model describes the relevant characteristics of the fuel/airmixing, i.e. themixing quality and convective time delays, for different operating points of the system.Measurements in the combustor are performed to correct the flame position effect or calibrate the cold flowresults.The model is for the first time implemented in an extremum seeking controller to optimize the emissions and pressure pulsations of the combustor by adjusting the fuel mixing profile. A further increase of the fuel/air mixing, necessary for further NOx reductions, with pulsating fuel injection, is demonstrated. At the end, the developed adaptive control strategies demonstrate opportunities for future efficiency increases in industrial combustors.}, editor = {King, Rudibert}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag Berlin}, series = {Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design}, booktitle = {Active Flow Control II, Papers Contributed to the Conference ''Active Flow Control II 2010'', Berlin, Germany, May 26 to 28, 2010}, ISBN = {978-3-642-11734-3 (print), 978-3-642-11735-0 (online)}, DOI = {10.1007/978-3-642-11735-0_20}, author = {Lacarelle, A. and Moeck, J.

The intention of this study is the conversion of a model-turbine into a turboshaft-engine for variable applications, with as few as possible modifications. The shaft power of the engine is estimated on 20 kW at least. It is intended to use a recuperator to augment its efficiency. After a general introduction possible applications are discussed and the previous design-process is explained: Subsequent to the concept-phase cycle parameters were calculated and the power turbine was designed and manufactured. At present turbine tests are running. The recuperator is of counter flow type. To shorten the flow path it is mounted directly around the combustor. Currently different variations are being designed which will be optimised. The pressure loss within the exhaust manifold between power turbine and recuperator has already been reduced by simulations and tests. This will be minimised through application of a genetic optimisation software.}, url = {http://link.aip.org/link/abstract/ASMECP/v2009/i48869/p55/s1}, publisher = {ASME}, booktitle = {Proc.
