An Investigation of a Mathematical Model for the Internal Velocity Profile of Conical Diffusers Applied to DAWTs
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) BARBOSA, Disterfano Lima Martins; VAZ, Jerson Rogério Pinheiro; FIGUEIREDO, Sávio W.O. ; SILVA, Marcelo de Oliveira e; LINS, Erb Ferreira; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante
The Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbines (DAWTs) have been widely studied, since the diffusers improve the power coefficient of the wind turbine, particularly of small systems. The diffuser is a device which has the function of causing an increase on the flow velocity through the wind rotor plane due to pressure drop downstream, therefore resulting in an increase of the rotor power coefficient. This technology aids the turbine to exceed the Betz limit, which states that the maximum kinetic energy extracted from the flow is 59.26%. Thus, the present study proposes a mathematical model describing the behavior of the internal velocity for three conical diffusers, taking into account the characteristics of flow around them. The proposed model is based on the Biot-Savart's Law, in which the vortex filament induces a velocity field at an arbitrary point on the axis of symmetry of the diffusers. The results are compared with experimental data obtained for the three diffusers, and present good agreement.

Contribution to the marine propeller hydrodynamic design for small boats in the Amazon region
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2016-03) FAVACHO, Breno Inglis; VAZ, Jerson Rogério Pinheiro; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; LOPES, Fábio; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SOEIRO, Newton Sure; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
In the Amazon, river navigation is very important due to the length of navigable rivers and the lack of alternative road networks. Boats usually operate in unfavorable conditions, since there is no hydrodynamic relation among propellers, geometry, and the dimensions of the boat hull. Currently, there is no methodology for propeller hydrodynamic optimization with low computational cost and easy implementation in the region. The aim of this work was to develop a mathematical approach for marine propeller design applied to boats typically found on Amazon rivers. We developed an optimized formulation for the chord and pitch angle distributions, taking into account the classical model of Glauert. A theoretical analysis for the thrust and torque relationships on an annular control volume was performed. The mathematical model used was based on the Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT). We concluded that the new methodology proposed in this work demonstrates a good physical behavior when compared with the theory of Glauert and the experimental data of the Wageningen B3-50 propeller.
