Performance data for an axial-flow turbine with passive adaptive blades
- University of Washington
To support the development of simulation tools for passive adaptive turbine rotors, an experimental data set from a laboratory-scale axial-flow turbine with passive adaptive blades is provided. The 0.45-meter diameter turbine was tested in the Alice C. Tyler Flume at the University of Washington. Blade and rotor loads were measured at 1 kHz using six-axis force/torque sensors while deflection and twist at the blade tip were tracked using a high-speed camera. This data submission includes a technical report, the raw and processed experimental data, and a README file explaining the file/folder structure and where to find the processing/plotting scripts used to produce the figures in the technical report.
