bioinspired highly flexible blade profiles
Zusammenfassung: The characteristics of the fluid–structure interaction on the flexible blades of a horizontal-axis water turbine are studied; this bioinspired technology features mechanical simplicity, performance and lifetime improvement, and low fish impact risk, all characteristics of a truly sustainable renewable energy exploitation. A surface-tracking method synchronized with force measurements was applied on a surrogate model of single-bladed, vertical-axis water turbine in a water channel. This allows for the characterization of the structural deformations and their link to the hydrodynamic forces, over a large range of turbine designs and operating points. It is shown that the phase angles of the maxima in blade deformation coincide with those of the load maxima on a rigid blade in identical flow conditions. The influence of the turbine’s tip/speed ratio on the blade deformation and blade load is investigated. With the chosen blade design, hydrofoil deformation is found to be maximum in the operating points where the performance improvement is maximized ( k o = 0.3 ). With lower values of reduced frequency (corresponding to lower rotation speed), fluid-induced forces dominate the fluid–structure interaction. Conversely, at higher frequencies, structural inertia dominates the interaction, and blade deformation is again reduced. Results suggest that the optimal blade rigidity may depend on the operating point; nevertheless the potential of the flexible-blade design is demonstrated through clear linking of fluid-induced forces and blade deformation in the complex flow conditions of the Darrieus water turbine.
