Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) of vertical-axis wind turbine: mesh and time-step sensitivity study

This paper presents mesh and time-step dependence study of newly designed drag type vertical axis wind turbine. Ansys FLUENT a commercially available CFD solver was used to perform CFD numerical study on the drag type wind turbine. In computational analysis, 2D models was simulated under unsteady fl...
