Aerodynamic and flow structure analysis of iced wind turbine airfoil
(2025)The issue of icing on wind turbines presents a significant operational challenge, especially in northern regions of Canada, where cold climates and harsh winter conditions prevail. This buildup of ice increases mechanical ... -
Estimating high-pressure hydrogen storage required to refuel heavy-duty vehicles
(2025)One of the major challenges of the current generation, in Canada, is meeting the ambitious net-zero emission targets by 2050 to fend off the worst impacts of climate change. Heavy-duty (HD) hydrogen fuel cell electric ... -
Flow control of low-reynolds number airfoils using morphing surface
(2025)This thesis investigates the application of traveling wave surface morphing as an advanced active flow control method to enhance the aerodynamic performance of airfoils operating at low Reynolds numbers of 1000 and 20,000. ... -
Influence of building neighbors on wind flow around a tall building
(2022)This thesis focuses on how building neighbors influence wind flow around a tall building. The wake dynamics and flow structures around a tall building are first explored using Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Following this, ... -
Pore-scale modelling of electrochemically reactive flow
(2022)Electrochemistry, a field revolving around charge transport, is omnipresent in our every-day life. It is found in batteries, water treatment, medicine, and food processing, to name a few. Water dissolves more substances ... -
Wind load evaluation on photovoltaic modules with flow deflector
(2020)The wind load on a photovoltaic system and the effects of adding a flow deflector around the panel are studied. The deflector is a reinforce measurement aiming to reduce the aerodynamic wind loads over the PV system, ...
