Numerical investigation of improvement of counter rotating Savonius turbines performance with curtaining and fin addition on blade

Counter rotating Savonius wind turbine (CRSWT) is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) which is appropriate for use in low-wind conditions. Experimenting to improve its performance is a difficult task because it is costly, time demanding, and complicated. CFD simulation with numerical prediction coul...
