Title: Analyzing the Aeroelastic Dynamics of Wind Turbine Rotors in Rapid Pitch-Control Actions Abstract: Pitch control comprises a significant proportion of current wind turbine load-control approaches. Collective pitching is used in restricting the overall power generation at high winds, whereas individual pitching has the added advantage of mitigating cyclic loads that are detrimental in fatigue damage of the turbines. Currently, there are many studies on conventional pitching control that account for long-term variations in wind speeds and associated high loads, but a smaller number of studies in short-term pitch action.

Title: Reversal of a large-scale flow in a randomly forced two-dimensional turbulence in a square domain Abstract: When a turbulent flow is somehow sustained in a closed container, a large-scale coherent flow often emerges. Moreover, in some situations, the direction of the large-scale flow changes randomly. A numerical setting for such reversal phenomena in two-dimensional flow was proposed by Molenaar, Clercx and van Heijst (2004). We numerically study the flow due to Molenaar et al. with emphasis on modeling the typical time scale between reversals.

We look forward...

Title: Universality of oscillating boiling in Leidenfrost transition

Abstract: The Leidenfrost transition leads a boiling system to the boiling crisis, a state in which the liquid loses contact with the heated surface due to excessive vapor generation. Here, using experiments of liquid droplets boiling on a heated surface, we report a new phenomenon, termed oscillating boiling, at the Leidenfrost transition. We show that oscillating boiling is resulted from the competition between two effects: separation of liquid from the heated surface due to localized boiling, and rewetting. We argue theoretically that the Leidenfrost transition...

Title: "Embedded Image Processing: The Case For Field Programmable Gate Arrays"

Speaker: Prof. Donald Bailey

Affiliation: Massey University

Abstract: Vision is increasingly being embedded within devices and products. The trend for increasing resolution and increasing complexity of applications places considerable demands on the image processing, especially for small, low-power embedded systems. It is shown that Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Technology is well suited to meet the computational demands of embedded imaging systems, especially for low-level image processing tasks. The differences between conventional software design and FPGA based design are outlined.
