Numerical Simulation of Fluid-Structure Coupling for a Multi-Blade Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine

The aerodynamic characteristics of the vertical-axis wind turbine with three, four, five, and six blades are studied numerically. A coupling model of fluid flow and solid turbine blade is established to model the interactions between air and wind turbine. The pressure distribution and blade deformat...
