Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, moving mesh technique is used to construct an outside flow CFD model around H-vertical axis wind turbine with different types of airfoil. RNG turbulent models and the implicit Couple arithmetic based on pressure are selected to solve the transient equation. From the results of the calculation, the author obtains the velocity field, pressure field distribution of H-type vertical axis wind turbine airfoil at different moments and analyze the wind wheel blade torque variation. The conclusion provides the theoretical basis and a method to optimize aerodynamic performance for the further study of vertical axis wind turbine in the future.
