Numerical investigation of turbulent flow over a small-scale vertical axis wind turbine

The present paper aims to analyse the aerodynamics of turbulent fluid flow over a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). A 2D study is carried out for a two-bladed SAVONIUS wind turbine, where the rotor diameter is D=20cm. The governing equations (Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes URANS) are solv...
