The hydrokinetic turbine team has done it again. We have just completed giving our second of four reviews. This review was entitled a "Design Analysis Review" and game the team and me the opportunity to show some of the data we have collected and outline our component testing plans which will help us define the architecture for the product. 

Highlights of the presentation include a plot of angle of attack that was created for a full 360 sweep of the turbine. I was able to create this plot by modeling the angle of attack as a simple sinusoid using the geometry of Tip Speed Ratio and flow velocity to justify the curve fit. 

We are looking to conduct some key component tests in the coming weeks on NACA foil 4415 to determine lift values at low reynolds number. Below is the presentation that was given.
