CFD Study of the aerodynamic performance of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine in the wake of another turbine
Download2022-06-01
Belabes, Belkacem, Paraschivoiu, Marius
An increased interest in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) has been seen recently due to their ability to be placed closer together. Although individual vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have lower efficiency than horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), they may have a significant advantage...

The current study demonstrates the very high performance of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) on the roof-top corner of a building using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A small-scale VAWT with high rotational velocity is validated using the SST k-ω turbulence model. It is shown that this...
