  Investigation of flow-induced vibration of horizontal axis wind turbines
  Summary

  Industrial scale wind turbines must be able to withstand occasional extreme winds. This includes gusts which cause a rapid change in wind direction. This will mean that the blades are now are very high, even reflexive, angles of incidence to the flow, and so may be considered as bluff bodies, rather than streamlined lifting surfaces. In this project, we investigate the possibility of wind turbine blade sections experiencing vortex shedding, and vortex shedding lock-in due to structural motion, at high angles of attack. The simulated data is used to obtain a simple non-linear wake model which is coupled to the motion of the structure.

• Title

  Modelling acoustic resonance in heat exchangers
  Summary

  Heat exchangers can exhibit periodic vortex shedding. If the fluid is gas flow, then the vortex shedding may excite an acoustic duct mode and hence cause acoustic resonance. The acoustic sources are distributed and diffuse. The onset, and lock-in behaviour depends on the non-linear interaction between the (linear) acoustic field and the fluid dynamics. This project uses unsteady CFD to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of acoustic sources.

• Title

  Flow-induced vibration of nuclear steam generators
  Summary

  Nuclear power plant depends on large heat exchangers, called steam generators, to transfer the heat from the reactor to steam, so that electricity can be generated at the turbines. These steam generators are effective bundles of long, thin (and hence flexible) tubes subject to flow perpendicular to their axes. This gives rise to the possibility of flow-induced vibration. In this project we are investigating a recently discovered phenomenon in tube arrays, called bi-stable flow. We are focussing on a tube bundle arrange in a parallel triangular array pattern with a pitch ratio of 1.375 as this is typical of what is used in CANDU reactors.
