Overview
Key facts
After successfully completing the Rotor and Wake Aerodynamics course, you will be able to:
- design or source models at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) which can represent the aerodynamics of different rotor configurations
- appraise different models and critique their suitability
- analyze complex rotor flows (rotors in yaw, wind farms, etc.)
- identify and summarize the main fluid phenomena and evaluate their interaction
- integrate different models to analyze the flow and combine the different models, evaluating their limitations and overlap
- design a rotor from an aerodynamic perspective
Programme Structure
The course includes:- rotary wing aerodynamics with applications in aircraft, propulsion, fans and wind turbines.
- A discussion of conservation laws, actuator disk/momentum theory and limitations.
- An examination of helicopter rotor vertical flight and "windmill brake" state. How to calculate figure of merit.
- Understanding the Betz optimum for wind turbines and lift and drag devices and the blade element momentum method.
- "Tip" correction methods, correction for finite number of blades and heavily loaded rotors are examined.
- The aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils for rotor applications and the properties of pitch and stall controlled wind turbines are explored as a precursor to a wind turbine rotor blade design exercise.
