Wind Turbines and Aerodynamics Energy Harvesters

Wind Turbines and Aerodynamics Energy Harvesters is the most up-to-date and research-focused text covering all aspects of aerodynamic energy harvesters and a detailed review on aeroacoustics characteristics. In this fast-growing and expanding field, this book considers all developing aspects of 3D printed miniature and large-size Savious wind harvesters as well as introducing and discussing bladeless and aeroelastic harvesters. Following with a review of Off-shore wind turbine aerodynamics modelling and measurements, the book continues to discuss and compare the numerical codes for floating offshore wind turbines, along with an overview the aeroacoustics characteristics of Wind turbines. Each chapter contains a detailed analysis, numerical and experimental case studies considering recent research design and developments and their application in practice. Written by an experienced, international team in this cross-disciplinary field, the book is an invaluable reference for wind power engineers, technicians and manufacturers, as well as researchers examining one of the most promising and efficient sources of renewable energy.
