Ducted wind turbine optimization and sensitivity to rotor position

The design of a ducted wind turbine modeled using an actuator disc was studied using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The design variables included the rotor thrust coefficient, the angle of attack of the duct cross section, the radial gap bet...
