Numerical investigation of a two-bladed vertical-axis turbine operating in a confined channel

The energy harvesting performance of a hydrokinetic turbine in a confined channel has been investigated through numerical simulations. It consists of a two-bladed vertical-axis turbine with a NACA0015 profile. Fluid dynamics are reproduced by a 2D numerical model solving the unsteady RANS equations...
