Abstract

Measurement of air velocity when flow is oscillating is required in ocean wave energy studies. A special type of self-rectifying air turbine called "Wells turbine", coupled with induction generator is used for converting the air column movement in a wave energy basin to electrical energy. So far no attempts have been made to study the air velocity variations into and out of the turbine at site. Some efforts for measurement of oscillating air column at laboratory using hot-wire anemometer have been reported. A novel probe, comprising miniature pressure transducers, for the measurement of air velocity variations into and out of the turbine, was designed and developed. The probe was first calibrated and tested at the laboratory before shifting to site for actual measurements. An unidirectional oscillating air flow facility was initially setup at the existing air flow laboratory, which has a variable speed blower as the prime mover. Oscillating flow was generated by a butterfly valve, operated through a function generator. Tests at a nominal frequency of 0.1 Hz and flow velocities upto 35 m/s were conducted. Accuracies of the order of /spl plusmn/2% were estimated for the probe.
测量振荡气流中空气速度的探头
在海浪能研究中,需要测量气流振荡时的空气速度。一种特殊类型的自整流空气透平,称为“威尔斯透平”,与感应发电机相结合,用于将波能盆地中的气柱运动转化为电能。到目前为止,还没有人试图在现场研究进出涡轮机的空气速度变化。本文报道了用热线风速仪在实验室测量振荡气柱的一些尝试。设计并开发了一种新型探头,该探头由微型压力传感器组成,用于测量进出涡轮的空气速度变化。探针首先在实验室进行校准和测试,然后转移到现场进行实际测量。在现有的气流实验室中初步建立了单向振荡气流装置,该装置以变速鼓风机为原动机。振荡流由蝶阀产生,通过函数发生器操作。在0.1 Hz的标称频率和35 m/s的流速下进行了试验。估计探头的精度为/spl plusmn/2%。
