Variable Speed of Light Cosmology and Electromagnetism
(KDP, 2022)This work explores modifications of electromagnetism models to allow variable speed of light (VSL) without violating current observations and investigates the utility of VSL to explain anomalies (unexplainable observations) ... -
Algebraic Skeleton Transform: A symbolic computation challenge
(2022-05-04)We introduce an algebraic formulation for the shape skeleton transform (also known as the medial axis transform) and present a concrete low-degree example. While we can now construct an algorithmic approach and provide a ... -
Experimental comparison of blade pitch and speed control strategies for horizontal-axis current turbines
(Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, 2021-03-11)The majority of utility-scale horizontal-axis current turbines use either speed or pitch control to maintain a constant power output once the currents exceed a certain threshold: the turbine-specific “rated speed”. In ... -

An experimental assessment of analytical blockage corrections for turbines
(2019)In laboratory experiments involving wind or water turbines, it is often desirable to correct measured performance for the effects of model blockage. However, there has been limited experimental validation of the analytical ... -
Comparison of cross-flow turbine performance under torque-regulated and speed-regulated control
(AIP, 2019)When experimentally evaluating the performance of a wind or water current turbine, one must impose a regulating torque on the turbine rotor by electrical or mechanical means. Some options limit this controlling torque to ... -
