    • Flow in the wake of wind turbines : turbulance spectral analysis by wind tunnel test 

      Wittwer, Adrián Roberto; Dorado, Rodrigo Martins; Alvarez y Alvarez, Gisela Marina; Degrazia, Gervasio Annes; Loredo-Souza, Acir Mércio; Bodmann, Bardo Ernst Josef (2016) [Artigo de periódico]
      The interaction between the incident wind and wind turbines in a wind farm causes mean velocity deficit and increased levels of turbulence in the wake. The turbulent flow is characterized by the superposition of wind turbine ...
    • Fluctuating velocity measurements in the turbulent wake of a wind turbine model 

      Wittwer, Adrián Roberto; Dorado, Rodrigo Martins; Loredo-Souza, Acir Mércio; Bodmann, Bardo Ernst Josef; Degrazia, Gervasio Annes; Bones, Arthur Panichi; Capeller, Bruno; Contini, André Carlos (2018) [Artigo de periódico]
      An experimental study of the turbulent wake of a wind turbine model was realized at the “Joaquim Blessmann” wind tunnel of the UFRGS. The turbine model was developed at the Universidade de Caxias do Sul and it represents ...
    • Study of gas turbulent dispersion process in the Alcântara Launch Center 

      Wittwer, Adrián Roberto; Loredo-Souza, Acir Mércio; Oliveira, Mário Gustavo Klaus; Fisch, Gilberto Fernando; Souza, Bianca Hulle de; Goulart, Elisa Valentim (2018) [Artigo de periódico]
      The Alcântara Launch Center (ALC) is the Brazilian gate to the space located at the north coast of Maranhão State, close to the Equator. Topographical local characteristics modify the parameters of incident atmospheric ...
    • Wind tunnel experiments with neutral and convective boundary layer stabilities
