Instability and sensitivity of the flow around a rotating circular cylinder (2010, methodology): “As other studies have shown, e.g. Mittal & Kumar (2003), a small rotation rate (α 2) does not alter substantially the mechanism behind the instability; this is also confirmed by our analysis which shows qualitative resemblance of the sensitivity maps for low and zero rotation rates.”
Potential order-of-magnitude enhancement of wind farm power density via counter-rotating vertical-axis wind turbine arrays (2010, result): “(i.e. greater than 2), since in this regime the turbine rotation can suppress vortex shedding and turbulence in the wake in a manner similar to that observed in previous studies of spinning cylinders (16, 17). At lower tip speed ratios, the VAWTs likely create a larger wake akin to that of a station”
Flow-induced vibrations of a rotating cylinder (2013, background): “As also noted in previous studies (e.g. Mittal & Kumar 2003), the rotation induces an asymmetry in the strength of the positive and negative vortices, and an upward deviation of the wake.”
Flow past a cylinder: shear layer instability and drag crisis (2005, result): “Detailed results for the ow at low Re(100¡Re¡1000) with the same nite element formulation as in this work, and their comparison with experiments, can be found in our earlier papers [32, 34, 35].”
