Numerical Simulation of Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Characteristics under Wind Shear Based on Lattice-Boltzmann Method

In order to study the influence of wind shear on the aerodynamic characteristics of large wind turbines, taking the 5MW wind turbine blade model published by NREL as the research object, large eddy simulation (LES) of wind turbines was carried out by using XFlow fluid simulation software based on Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM). WALE turbulence model was used to study wind shear at 3, 11.2 and 25m/s wind speeds. The effect of factors on the axial thrust and torque of wind turbines is compared with the data published by NREL. The results show that the XFlow software based on LBM and LES method has good capturing ability for the eddy wake of wind turbine; wind shear causes the airfoil section of each section of blade to deviate from the best designed attack angle in theory and results in a decrease in torque applied to the wind turbine

Static Analysis and Topological Optimization of Steering Block for Mining Shuttle

Taking the steering block of mine shuttle car as the research object, a three-dimensional solid model of the steering block of mine shuttle car is established by SolidWorks. Based on ANSYS Workbench, the total deformation and stress of the steering block of Mine shuttle car under tension are obtained. According to the boundary conditions, the steering block is optimized by topology optimization, and the steering block is optimized by the results of topology optimization, and finally verified by static analysis. The results show that the mass of the optimized steering block is reduced by 11.7%. This study provides a reference for comprehensive performance analysis and optimization of Mine shuttle car steering block
