Experimental Investigation of Finite Aspect Ratio Cylindrical Bodies for Accelerated Wind Applications

The placement of a cylindrical body in a flow alters the velocity and pressure fields resulting in a local increase in the flow speed near the body. This interaction is of interest as wind turbine rotor blades could be placed in the area of increased wind speed to enhance energy harvesting. In this...
