AdVanced Aerodynamic Tools for lArge Rotors (AVATAR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

The motivation for the AVATAR project lies in the fact that upscaling wind turbine designs towards 10-20 MW requires radical innovations to make this feasible. Many of these innovationshave a strong aerodynamic component and can be considered as unconventional from an aerodynamic point of view. As such the analysis of the resulting rotor designs falls outside the validated range of applicability o ...

Changing families and sustainable societies: Policy contexts and diversity over the life course and across generations (FAMILIESANDSOCIETIES)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The main objectives of this project are to investigate the diversity of family forms, relationships, and life courses in Europe; to assess the compatibility of existing policies with these changes; and to contribute to evidence-based policy-making. The project will extend our knowledge on how policies promote well-being, inclusion and sustainable societal development among families. Our approach r ...

A Synergetic Training Network on Energy beam Processing: from Modelling to Industrial Applications (STEEP)

Start date: Jan 15, 2013, End date: Jan 14, 2017,

"With the use of more advanced, but difficult-to-cut materials, on ever-more sophisticated products, the need to further develop and utilise the particular capabilities of the energy beam (EB) processing techniques seem to become a key enabler for the European industry. Although they are of various nature, a set of key communalities can be identified among EB methods when considered as dwell-time ...

new MAterials and REliability in offshore WINd Turbines technology (MARE-WINT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

One of the strategic objectives of the industrial initiative of the SET Plan on wind energy is to reduce cost of energy by improving reliability of wind turbines and their components and optimizing operation and maintenance (O&M) strategies. Increasing reliability and optimizing O&M have a direct impact on the availability of wind turbines and thus reduce cost and increase energy output. This stra ...

Transition Location Effect on Shock Wave Boundary Layer Interaction (TFAST)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Vision-2020, whose objectives include the reduction of emissions and a more effective transport systems, puts severe demands on aircraft velocity and weight. These require an increased load on wings and aero-engine components. The greening of air transport systems means a reduction of drag and losses, which can be obtained by keeping laminar boundary layers on external and internal airplane parts ...

Modelling of Adaptive Wing Structures (MAWS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"An adaptive wing tip concept will be developed to enable controlled wash-in and wash-outthroughout the entire flight envelope. The concept, based upon adaptive stiffness structuresenables control of the aeroelastic deflections, and also facilitates gust load alleviation.Furthermore, a mathematically based design tool will be developed making use of Reduced OrderModels (ROMs) of the wing structure ...

Validation of Numerical Engineering Simulations: Standardisation Actions (VANESSA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

Engineering simulation is an essential feature of the design and manufacture of all engineered products at all scales. However such simulations are not routinely validated, at least in part because technology for rapid, cost-effect validations has not been available. Two previous projects, SPOTS and ADVISE have led to the development of appropriate technology. The goal of the VANESSA project is t ...

Strong Interaction Supercomputing Training Network (STRONGnet)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The research aims at a deeper understanding of properties of strongly interacting matter. This is mainly done by means of numerical simulations of the underlying theory (QCD) on supercomputers (Lattice QCD). We wish to understand QCD for its own sake and as a prototype of a strongly interacting fundamental theory. Therefore we will calculate the spectrum of mesons, baryons and of exotic states, th ...

Control and Alleviation of Loads in Advanced Regional Turbo Fan Configurations (CLAReT)

Start date: Jan 28, 2012, End date: Sep 27, 2013,

A novel adaptive winglet concept will be developed to enable controlled cant angle orientation and twist throughout the flight envelope whilst also providing a passive gust loads alleviation capability. A CFD based aerodynamic design of the device applied on a baseline Turbo-Fan Aircraft configuration model will be undertaken, followed by a preliminary lay-out definition of the structure and actu ...
