Computational Fluid Dynamics Prediction of a Modified Savonius Wind Turbine with Novel Blade Shapes
The Savonius wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWTs) that is simply composed of two or three arc-type blades which can generate power even under poor wind conditions. A modified Savonius wind turbine with novel blade shapes is introduced with the aim of increasing the power coef...
