Numerical Investigations of the Savonius Turbine with Deformable Blades

Numerical Investigations of the Savonius Turbine with Deformable Blades

Savonius wind turbines are characterized by various advantages such as simple design, independence of wind direction, and low noise emission, but they suffer from low efficiency. Numerous investigations were carried out to face this problem. In the present paper, a new idea of the Savonius turbine w...
