Project title: Wind shear detection
Aims: To detect wind shear up to 8 km away from the station
Method: Using a LiDAR scan provided by Vaisala.
Outcomes: Horizontal wind shear, vertical wind shear, wind shear coefficient, Wind Shear Angle, etc.
Project title: Display a dual LIDAR scan
Aims: To simulate two LIDAR beams
Methods: Using HTML and Javarscript codes.
Outcomes: A web platform to display dual LIDAR scan. The platform can be found here.
Project title: Effect of wind load on solar heliostat structures
Aims: To determine a heliostat structure which generates the smallest wind load.
Method: Using ultrasonic sensors to measure wind and temperature profiles and pressure sensors to measure the pressure distribution over the helilostat.
Outcomes: Wind load for different heliostat designs under different wind conditions.
Project title: Measurement of the viscous sublayer of turbulent boundary layers
Aims: To measure flow velocities every 0.01±0.005 mm from the surface in a turbulent boundary layer.
Method: Flow velocities were measured using hot-wire anemometry in a wind tunnel.
Outcomes: Velocity and turbulent intensity profiles in the viscous sublayer of the turbulent boundary layer.
Project title: Direct numerical simulation of turbulent boundary layers over a flat plate
Aims: To simulate a turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate at ReTau of 180
Methods: Direct numerical simulation with a mesh of 100 million elements was conducted using Nek5000. The project details, such as equipment, and codes, can be found here.
Outcomes: Velocity distribution and skin friction of drag of the plate
