Aerodynamic Performance Enhancement of an Axisymmetric Deflector Applied to Savonius Wind Turbine Using Novel Transient 3D CFD Simulation Techniques

Aerodynamic Performance Enhancement of an Axisymmetric Deflector Applied to Savonius Wind Turbine Using Novel Transient 3D CFD Simulation Techniques

Many recent studies show that the performance of Savonius turbines can be considerably increased by using wind deflectors. Axisymmetric deflectors are particularly interesting; they concentrate the wind flow in all directions. This study aims to aerodynamically optimize the truncated cone deflector...
