Technology : Aeronautics & Astronautics

After the demise of Fokker in 1996 one feared that interest in aeronautical engineering would strongly diminish. Two years later the situation was re-appraised, and the interest in aeronautical engineering remained, so the course was reinstated. This title includes the author's lecture notes from these courses. more...

‘An excellent introduction to wind turbine aerodynamics.’ David Infield Professor of Renewable Energy Systems Loughborough University UK ‘A well written up to date and comprehensive textbook ... I would strongly recommend it.’ Spyros Voutsinas Associate Professor National Technical University of Athens Greece ‘An excellent overview of the aerodynamics of modern wind turbines ... Highly recommended for practitioners as well as theorists.’ Professor Geir Moe Department of Civil and Transportation Engineering The Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway ‘...everything you need to know about wind generation ...’ Seda Newsletter Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is the established essential text for the fundamental solutions to efficient wind turbine design. Now in its second edition it has been entirely updated and substantially extended to reflect advances in technology research into rotor aerodynamics and the structural response of the wind turbine structure. Topics covered include increasing mass flow through the turbine performance at low and high wind speeds assessment of the extreme conditions under which the turbine will perform and the theory for calculating the lifetime of the turbine. The classical Blade Element Momentum method is also covered as are eigenmodes and the dynamic behaviour of a turbine. The new material includes a description of the effects of the dynamics and how this can be modelled in an ‘aeroelastic code’ which is widely used in the design and verification of modern wind turbines. Further the description of how to calculate the vibration of the whole construction as well as the time varying loads has been substantially updated. more...
