Aero-Elastic Modeling and Control of a Wind Turbine Scale Model
Accurate aero-elastic modeling is essential for understanding wind turbine dynamics, validating experimental results, and developing advanced control strategies. This thesis aims to develop a high-fidelity one-to-one aero-elastic model of a wind turbine scale model for wind tunnel testing. The model will reproduce the full geometry, mass and mass distribution, structural flexibility, aerodynamic behavior of the

Evaluation of athlete effort during competitive bike activities
In the wind gallery of Politecnico di Milano, competitive athletes perform aerodynamic evaluations to improve their performances. The goal is to define the better position and/or equipment to be as competitive as possible from an aerodynamic point of view. Nothing is ever said, however, about the possible differences in terms of the effort of the
