CFD Calculations of Average Flow Parameters around the Rotor of a Savonius Wind Turbine
The geometry of a conventional two-bladed Savonius rotor was used in this study based on a report available in the literature. A two-dimensional rotor model consisting of two buckets and an overlap ratio of 0.1 was prepared. The unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations and the eddy...
