摘要： A constant velocity joint assembly includes a housing body having an outer surface and an inner surface extending between a first housing end and a second housing end along a central axis. The inner surface of the housing body defines a raceway. A plurality of rollers are disposed in the raceway. A flexible boot is operably fixed to the housing body, with the flexible boot extending along the central axis. A deflector ring is fixed to the outer surface of the housing body. The deflector ring has a metal inner ring portion and a non-metal outer ring portion.

摘要： A system for a tower segment of a tower is presented, wherein the tower segment is configured for forming at least partially a part of a tower for carrying a structure, in particular for supporting a nacelle of a horizontal-axis wind turbine or a machine house of a vertical-axis wind turbine. The system is configured to be attached, arranged, and/or mounted to the tower segment and comprises at least an airflow manipulation arrangement and a support arrangement. The airflow manipulation arrangement includes an airflow manipulator which is configured for affecting an airflow around the tower segment. The support arrangement is configured for supporting the airflow manipulation arrangement and for mounting the airflow manipulation arrangement to the tower segment. The airflow manipulation arrangement and the support arrangement are configured such, when mounted to the tower segment, that the airflow manipulator projects a tower diameter in radial direction by at least 5%, in particular at least 10%, preferred at least 15%, in particular not more than 30%, further in particular not more than 20%, of the tower diameter, or that the airflow manipulator is essentially parallel to the tower segment. By this, an effective measure against vortex shedding effects is put in place.

摘要： A structure (1) for channelling and directing incident wind is described. The structure includes a hollow pipe (2) having a downstream end (2a) that defines at least one outlet and an upstream end (2b). A rotatably mounted intake (4) is positioned at the upstream end (2b) of the pipe (2) and is adapted to direct incident wind into the pipe.

摘要： A drag reduction apparatus for reducing the aerodynamic drag on a bluff body with a blunt trailing edge caused by fluid flow characteristics at the wake of the bluff body, the drag reduction apparatus comprising: one or more control elements configured to be coupled to the bluff body and to move with respect to the bluff body, whereby the movement of the one or more control elements controls fluid flow at the wake of the bluff body to reduce the drag caused by fluid flow instabilities and environmental asymmetries.

摘要： An air conduction element for reducing the air resistance of a load-carrying vehicle having a load space structure. The air conduction element can be externally mounted in the rear region of the load space structure and includes an air conduction duct with a front air inlet opening and a rear air outlet opening, front and rear being in relation to the direction of travel (x). The air inlet opening overlaps the load space structure in the direction of travel (x) and the air outlet opening is arranged behind the load space structure within the cross-sectional contour thereof. The air conduction element has a cover which delimits the air conduction duct. It was therefore the aim to devise an air conduction element which does not increase the dimensions of the load space structure when the vehicle is driving slowly or is at a standstill. For this purpose, the cover is produced from a flexible flat material.

摘要： A vortex-induced vibration (VIV) suppression device including a fairing comprising a fairing body having a nose dimensioned to partially encircle an underlying tubular and a first arm and a second arm extending from the nose, wherein the nose, the first arm and the second arm are one integrally formed unit and the first arm and the second arm are spaced a distance from one another along their entire length so as to define a gap therebetween; and a securing element dimensioned to fit within the gap between the first arm and the second arm and secure the fairing to an underlying tubular. Methods for securing a U-shaped fairing to a tubular and manufacturing a U-shaped fairing are also disclosed.

摘要： An automobile comprising first and second flaps provided on either side of a centreline on the underside of the automobile is provided. Each flap is deployable from first positions that extend minimally into the flow to respective second positions where each flap extends maximally into the flow of air when the automobile is in motion to reduce the downforce generated by the automobile. A control unit adapted to receive inputs that indicate the dynamic state of the automobile is further provided. The control unit select positions of the first and second flaps depending on the dynamic state to control the downforce generated by the automobile. If the inputs indicate that the automobile is cornering, the positions of the first and second flaps are selected so as to counter roll of the automobile.
