O knihe

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 1,3, Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus, language: English, abstract: The flow over macroscopic patterned/structured surfaces was investigated in a subsonic wind tunnel over Reynolds numbers ranging from 3.14 x 104 to 2.77 x 105 for cylinders and from 5.34 x 105 to 11.27 x 106 for plates. The investigations were accomplished by measuring local and global drag, velocity profiles and by visualization of the flow above the surface. Flow visualization was carried out by using oil-film technique and velocity profile measurements to elucidate the observed effect, and hence present the mechanism responsible for theobserved drag reduction. Investigations on structured plates were performed with the help of hot wire anemometry and oil film interferometry.

The main concern of the experiments on structured plates was to examine the effect of hexagonal structures on local and global drag of a structured plate. It was accomplished by determining and analyzing the boundary layer quantities like shear stress velocities, shear stress coefficients and momentum thicknesses over a selected Reynolds number range and various locations in streamwise direction. Finally, a number of configurations of a wind turbine made of smooth and structured blades were investigated to compare their efficiencies at various flow velocities.
