Computational Fluid Dynamics Prediction of a Modified Savonius Wind Turbine with Novel Blade Shapes
The Savonius wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWTs) that is simply composed of two or three arc-type blades which can generate power even under poor wind conditions. A modified Savonius wind turbine with novel blade shapes is introduced with the aim of increasing the power coefficient of the turbine. The effect of blade fullness, which is a main shape parameter of the blad...
متن کاملDucted Turbine Blade Optimization Using Numerical Simulation
This paper presents a combined blade element (BE), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method for performance analysis and optimization of ducted turbines. The model is similar to standard blade element momentum theory, except that CFD replaces the momentum equation for determining the induction factors. This eliminates many assumptions used in applying the typical blade element momentum (BEM) t...
متن کاملApplication of guide blades for improving performance of savonius wind turbine
Application of guide blades is an appropriate method for improving aerodynamic performance of savonius wind turbine. Guide blades gather the wind energy around the turbine and guide them into the concave side of savonius rotor. In this paper, numerical investigation is conducted for evaluating effect of the guide blades on the performance of savonius turbine. Aerodynamic performance of the turb...
متن کاملSlotted Blades Savonius Wind Turbine Analysis by CFD
In this paper a new bucket configuration for a Savonius wind generator is proposed. Numerical analyses are performed to estimate the performances of the proposed configuration by means of the commercial code COMSOL Multiphysicsr with respect to Savonius wind turbine with overlap only. Parametric analyses are performed, for a fixed overlap ratio, by varying the slot position; the results show th...
متن کاملThe Performance Test of Three Different Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) Blade Shapes Using Experimental and Numerical Methods
Three different horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) blade geometries with the same diameter of 0.72 m using the same NACA4418 airfoil profile have been investigated both experimentally and numerically. The first is an optimum (OPT) blade shape, obtained using improved blade element momentum (BEM) theory. A detailed description of the blade geometry is also given. The second is an untapered and ...
