Offshore wind power has been an important force to promote energy transformation. To build an advanced offshore wind farm, wind turbine selection requires the decision maker to explore new relevant criteria and evaluate alternatives with respect to decision criteria with assigning importance weightings to the criteria. In this paper, we devise a novel hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for offshore wind turbine selection by reconstructing analytic network process (ANP) and entropy-weight method (EWM). Based on the assigned weightings for ANP and EWM, the best alternative can be selected. For the decision-making model, five main criteria are specifically subdivided into 22 sub-criteria. The method is then applied to deal with the quantitative and qualitative inputs and the interrelation of criteria as arising from decision-making process. The results show that the proposed method can effectively select the optimal one from four different types of alternative offshore wind turbines.
This paper presents a modified fifth-order WENO-HLLC Riemann solver for the transonic compressible viscous flows around the helicopter rotor in hover. The HLLC approximate Riemann solver is proposed to discrete the convection term involving grid velocity of the Navier-Stokes equations. In order to solve the interface flow accurately, a modified fifth-order WENO scheme is presented by designing the smoothness indicators based on L 1 norm measurement. The improved WENO scheme can provide the optimal approximation order even at critical points. Numerical accuracy and robustness are validated by several benchmark inviscid flow problems. Then the numerical properties of the WENO-HLLC solver in conjunction with the implicit LU-SGS time integration method with high efficiency are further validated by simulating transonic viscous flows over RAE2822 airfoil and ONERA-M6 wing. The results show that the accuracy of calculating shock, discontinuity, and the vortex is significantly improved. Finally, the method is developed to compute the transonic vortex flow around the helicopter rotor with a domain discretized by overset grids. The results indicate that the proposed method is very robust and effective in acquiring high resolution for vortex wake.
