Abstract |
In this paper, the effect of wind load on the heliostat panel is studied at different pitch angles. The change in the force and Strouhal frequencies at different Reynolds numbers and turbulence intensities have been observed. The purpose of this study is to find the shedding frequency of the body under wind load and to identify an optimum distance which needs to be kept between the two heliostat bodies. The various dominant frequency regions has been analyzed using the wavelet analysis. The effect of variation of gap size on the heliostat mirrors has also been studied. | |||||||||
