Fluid-structure interaction investigation of a medium-sized heliostat

Wolmarans, Joshua Raymond (University of Pretoria, 2018)

Renewable energy, particularly solar energy is at the forefront of the fight against fossil fuels. Concentrated Solar Power plants utilizing heliostats, large reflecting mirrors, to concentrate the sun’s solar energy onto ...
One-way fluid-structure interaction of a medium-sized heliostat using scale-resolving CFD simulation

Wolmarans, Joshua Raymond; Craig, K.J. (Kenneth) (Elsevier, 2019-10)

Vortex shedding and the resultant transient loadings on a medium-sized heliostat are investigated in this paper. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of a simplified version of an ...
Two-way fluid-structure interaction of medium-sized heliostats

Wolmarans, Joshua Raymond; Craig, K.J. (Kenneth) (American Institute of Physics, 2019-07-26)

Vortex shedding and the resultant transient loadings on a medium sized heliostat are investigated in this paper. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used as a validation case along ...
