In contrast to the previous studies, the rotational speed of the turbine is not fixed, the rotation of the turbine is determined by the dynamic interaction between the fluctuating wind and turbine. A weak coupling method is developed to simulate the dynamic interaction between the fluctuating wind and passive rotation turbine, and the results show that if the fluctuating wind with appropriate fluctuation amplitude and frequency, the self-starting aerodynamic characteristics of VAWT will be enhanced. It is also found that compared with the fluctuation amplitude, the fluctuation frequency of the variation in wind velocity is shown to have a minor effect on the performance of the turbine. The analysis will provide straightforward physical insight into the self-starting aerodynamic characteristics of VAWT under fluctuating wind.展开更多

Self-starting mode-locking at the fundamental repetition rate of 18 MHz is obtained at the lasing threshold, and further increasing the bias current leads to the progressive emission of additional optical pulses in each round trip and eventually to mode-locked emission at increasingly high harmonics of the fundamental repetition rate, up to 2.45 GHz. The intensity autocorrelation of the amplified mode-locked pulses has a full width at half-maximum duration of 382 fs, which corresponds to a pulse duration of 247 fs.展开更多
