Coupled dynamic response and energy conversion characteristics of 10 MW floating vertical axis wind turbine with different configurations

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are superior because they have compact structure, good wind adaptability and strong scalability. The coupling dynamic response mechanisms between different configurations of wind turbines and floating platforms are different. Based on the CFD method, dynamic fluid body interaction (DFBI), overlapping grid and dynamic grid techniques are used for numerical simulations. The force characteristics and self-starting features of H-type and Φ-type VAWTs are compared. The aerodynamic performance and motion response of the floating VAWT (FVAWT) are studied under different tip-speed ratios (TSR) and aspect ratios (η). The results show that the power coefficient (Cp) of H-type and Φ-type FVAWTs reaches the peak when TSR = 6 and TSR = 7, respectively. The optimal η for both is 1.2. The H-type FVAWT improves the Cp by 34.3% compared to Φ-type FVAWT. H-type FVAWT has a large thrust and excellent stability. The Φ-type FVAWT requires less initial thrust, and the self-starting performance is 12% superior to H-type FVAWT. With the increase of TSR and η, the heave motion of both FVAWTs is almost unaffected, but the pitch motion sensitivity is stronger. The heave amplitude of H-type FVAWT is 282% larger than Φ-type FVAWT, which has a gain effect on energy conversion. The Φ-type FVAWT has better safety. The strengthened structure of Φ-type VAWT has a noticeable impact on velocity and vortex distribution. In addition, the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic performance of the FVAWT is improved.

Analyzing Healthcare Processes with Incremental Process Discovery: Practical Insights from a Real-World Application

Most process mining techniques are primarily automated, meaning that process analysts input information and receive output. As a result, process mining techniques function like black boxes with limited interaction options for analysts, such as simple sliders for filtering infrequent behavior. Recent research tries to break these black boxes by allowing process analysts to provide domain knowledge and guidance to process mining techniques, i.e., hybrid intelligence. Especially, in process discovery—a critical type of process mining—interactive approaches emerged. However, little research has investigated the practical application of such interactive approaches. This paper presents a case study focusing on using incremental and interactive process discovery techniques in the healthcare domain.

HORA 3D: Personalized Flood Risk Visualization as an Interactive Web Service

AbstractWe propose an interactive web‐based application to inform the general public about personal flood risks. Flooding is the natural hazard affecting most people worldwide. Protection against flooding is not limited to mitigation measures, but also includes communicating its risks to affected individuals to raise awareness and preparedness for its adverse effects. Until now, this is mostly done with static and indiscriminate 2D maps of the water depth. These flood hazard maps can be difficult to interpret and the user has to derive a personal flood risk based on prior knowledge. In addition to the hazard, the flood risk has to consider the exposure of the own house and premises to high water depths and flow velocities as well as the vulnerability of particular parts. Our application is centered around an interactive personalized visualization to raise awareness of these risk factors for an object of interest. We carefully extract and show only the relevant information from large precomputed flood simulation and geospatial data to keep the visualization simple and comprehensible. To achieve this goal, we extend various existing approaches and combine them with new real‐time visualization and interaction techniques in 3D. A new view‐dependent focus+context design guides user attention and supports an intuitive interpretation of the visualization to perform predefined exploration tasks. HORA 3D enables users to individually inform themselves about their flood risks. We evaluated the user experience through a broad online survey with 87 participants of different levels of expertise, who rated the helpfulness of the application with 4.7 out of 5 on average.
