Numerical Analysis of Three Vertical Axis Turbine Designs for Improved Water Energy Efficiency

A hydrokinetic turbine with a vertical axis is specifically designed to harvest the kinetic energy from moving water. In this study, three vertical axis water turbines, namely Gorlov, Darrieus, and Savonius turbines, were compared for their efficiency via numerical modeling for steady-state conditio...
