An Experimental Study on Aerodynamic Performance of Spiral Savonius Wind Rotor

Abstract:

The performance experiments have been carried out by using the spiral Savonius wind rotor of which rotor has 2 blades, rotor diameter is D=420mm, rotor height is H=680mm and gap distance e =100mm. The static torque values at low wind speed and the power of the rotor have been measured. Experimental results show that the static toque values at different azimuths are almost constant and the maximum power coefficient can reach 0.113 at the tip speed ratio of λ= 0.49.
