Optimal Design of a New Type of Savonius Rotor Using Simulation Analysis

Abstract:

In order to enhance the efficiency of the Savonius rotor, this paper designs a new type of Savonius rotor with a rectifier. By using Computational Fluid Dynamics software to simulate and optimize the various parameters which affect the efficiency of the rotor. The sliding mesh method is applied here. The Cp-λ curves of wind turbine with different structural parameters are obtained after numerical simulation of flow field. On this basis, this paper gets the optimal structural parameters. And the results indicated that this new type of Savonius rotor has great improvement of efficiency compared with the traditional Savonius-type rotor.
