In recent years, the compound helicopter configuration, featuring the addition of lateral
propellers to a helicopter main rotor, has gained renewed interest for its ability to achieve …

While most wind energy comes from large utility-scale machines, small wind turbines
(SWTs) can still play a role in off-grid installations or in the context of distributed production …

Hydrokinetic turbines are electromechanical devices, which convert the kinetic energy of
freely flowing water into electricity without accumulating water. Turbine blades are …

According to the literature, the last improvement to the Actuator Disc Theory for hydrokinetic
turbines in channel flows included blockage ratio and Froude number as independent …

Low-fidelity methods such as the Blade Element Momentum Theory frequently provide rotor
aerodynamic performances. However, these methods must be coupled to databases or …

Low order models based on the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory exhibit modeling
issues in the performance prediction of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) compared to …

Poststall aerodynamic data are required to design and validate propellers, rotors, and wind
turbines. However, these data are scarce for (highly) cambered airfoils. This study provides …

While most wind energy comes today from utility-scale machines, small wind turbines SWTs
can still play a role in off-grid installations or in the context of distributed production and …

The present work aims to extend the capabilities of DUST, a mid-fidelity aerodynamic solver
developed at Politecnico di Milano, for the aerodynamic simulation of rotorcraft applications …

The present paper describes the results of a numerical investigation of a wing with an
integrated propeller using the midfidelity aerodynamic solver DUST. The wing/propeller …
