    Rehman, Shafiqur; Al-Hadhrami, Luai M.; Alam, Md. Mahbub; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2013-12)
    The increasing rate of adverse environmental events has made people from all walks of life more aware of the utilization of clean and renewable sources of energy. Technological advancement and the availability of efficient ...
  • Extraction of the inherent nature of wind speed using wavelets and FFT 
    Alam, Md. Mahbub; Rehman, Shafiqur; Al-Hadhrami, Luai M.; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2014-10)
    Due to technological advancement, availability of multi-megawatt wind turbines, ease of installation and maintenance, economic compatibility and commercial acceptance, wind power is being used globally for both grid-connected ...
  • Feasibility study of a wind-pv-diesel hybrid power system for a village 
    Rehman, Shafiqur; Alam, Md. Mahbub; Meyer, Josua P.; Al-Hadhrami, Luai M. (Elsevier, 2012-02)
    A wind-pv-diesel hybrid power system has been designed for a village in Saudi Arabia which is presently powered by a diesel power plant consisting of eight diesel generating sets of 1,120kW each. The study found a ...
  • Fluid forces on a very low Reynolds number airfoil and their prediction 
    Zhou, Y.; Alam, Md. Mahbub; Yang, H.X.; Guo, H.; Wood, D.H. (Elsevier, 2011-11)
    This paper presents the measurements of mean and fluctuating forces on an NACA0012 airfoil over a large range of angle (a) of attack (0–90 ) and low to small chord Reynolds numbers (Rec), 5.3 103–5.1 104, which is of ...
  • GIS-based site suitability analysis for wind farm development in Saudi Arabia 
    Baseer, M.A.; Rehman, S.; Meyer, Josua P.; Alam, Md. Mahbub (Elsevier, 2017-12)
    The harmful effects of traditional methods of power generation on the environment has created a need to strategically plan and develop renewable and sustainable energy generation systems. This paper presents the wind farm ...
  • Global aerodynamic instability of twin cylinders in cross flow 
    Alam, Md. Mahbub; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2013-08)
    This paper comprises an in-depth physical discussion of the flow-induced vibration of two circular cylinders in view of the time-mean lift force on stationary cylinders and interaction mechanisms. The gap-spacing ratio ...
  • Review of 600kw to 2500kw sized wind turbines and optimization of hub height for maximum wind energy yield realization 
    Alam, Md. Mahbub; Rehman, Shafiqur; Meyer, Josua P.; Al-Hadhrami, Luai M. (Elsevier, 2011-10)
    The percent increase in energy production with corresponding increase in hub-height for wind energy conversion system (WECS) from different manufacturers was compared in this study. It was seen that an increase of 10m ...
  • Two interacting cylinders in cross flow 
    Alam, Md. Mahbub; Meyer, Josua P. (American Physical Society, 2011-11)
    Cylindrical structures in a group are frequently seen on land and in the ocean. Mutual flow interaction between the structures makes the wake very excited or tranquil depending on the spacing between the structures. ...
  • The wake of two side-by-side square cylinders 
    Alam, Md. Mahbub; Zhou, Y.; Wang, X.W. (Cambridge University Press, 2011-01)
    Aerodynamic interference between two cylinders involves most of the generic flow features associated with multiple structures, thus providing an excellent model for gaining physical insight into the wake of multiple ...
