Turbulent Flow Characteristics and Dynamics Response of a Vertical-Axis Spiral Rotor
The concept of a vertical-axis spiral wind rotor is proposed and implemented in the interest of adapting it to air flows from all directions and improving the rotor’s performance. A comparative study is performed between the proposed rotor and conventional Savonius rotor. Turbulent flow features nea...
