An experimental study of turbulent vortex rings during their early development (2010)
Journal Article
GAN, L., & Nickels, T. (2010). An experimental study of turbulent vortex rings during their early development. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 649, 467-496. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0022112009993971

In this paper, the early development of turbulent vortex rings at two Reynolds numbers is studied using two-dimensional and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV). In the late 1980s, a similarity theory of turbulent vortex rings was proposed a... Read More about An experimental study of turbulent vortex rings during their early development.

The Effects of Unsteady On-Road Flow Conditions on Cabin Noise. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Oettle, N., Sims-Williams, D., Dominy, R., Darlington, C., Freeman, C., & Tindall, P. (2010, April). The Effects of Unsteady On-Road Flow Conditions on Cabin Noise. Presented at SAE 2010 World Congress & Exhibition, April 2010,, Detroit, USA

At higher speeds aerodynamic noise tends to dominate the overall noise inside the passenger compartment. Large-scale turbulent conditions experienced on the road can generate different noise characteristics from those under steady-state conditions ex...

Condition monitoring of the power output of wind turbine generators using wavelets (2010)
Journal Article
Watson, S., Xiang, J., Yang, W., Tavner, P., & Crabtree, C. (2010). Condition monitoring of the power output of wind turbine generators using wavelets. IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 25(3), 715-721. https://doi.org/10.1109/tec.2010.2040083

With an increasing number of wind turbines being erected offshore, there is a need for cost-effective, predictive, and proactive maintenance. A large fraction of wind turbine downtime is due to bearing failures, particularly in the generator and gear...

Williams, G., Toriz-Garcia, J., McWilliam, R., Seed, L., Purvis, A., & Ivey, P. (2010, March). Holographic Photolithography for 3D Integration. Presented at Design, Automation & Test in Europe (DATE) 2010, Dresden, Germany

On the use of Reuleaux plasticity for geometric non-linear analysis (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W. M., Crouch, R. S., & Augarde, C. E. (2010, April). On the use of Reuleaux plasticity for geometric non-linear analysis. Presented at 18th UK Conference on Computational Mechanics (ACME), Southampton, England

Three dimensional analyses including geometric and material non--linearity require robust, efficient constitutive models able to simulate engineering materials. However, many existing constitutive models have not gained widespread use due to their co... Read More about On the use of Reuleaux plasticity for geometric non-linear analysis.

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for wind turbines (2010)
Journal Article
Arabian-Hoseynabadi, H., Oraee, H., & Tavner, P. (2010). Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for wind turbines. International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems, 32(7), 817-824. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2010.01.019

The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method has been used to study the reliability of many different power generation systems. This paper now applies that method to a wind turbine (WT) system using a proprietary software reliability analysis... Read More about Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for wind turbines.
