3-D CFD Modeling the Straight Blade Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper use the Fluent software to calculate the flow field of the vertical axis wind turbine. The results got were almost agreeable with the experimental data. The results were much better agreeable with the experimental data when the TSR was larger than 1 .So it can be used as the fast and lower costing estimated tools for the vertical wind turbines.
