Abstract
Abstract
This study aims to comprehensively investigate the performance of Savonius rotor wind turbines through a combination of numerical simulations and experimental testing. Initially, 3-dimensional CAD software Solidworks and ANSYS will be utilized to design detailed models of the turbines. Numerical meshes will then be generated around these models using FLUENT software, incorporating the k-ε turbulence model to simulate fluid flow fields. Parameters such as drag coefficient, lift coefficient, pressure contours, velocity contours, and torque coefficient will be determined across various wind speeds. Subsequently, numerical power coefficients will be calculated based on the torque coefficients obtained. Additionally, scale models of Savonius rotor wind turbines will be designed and fabricated, optimized for blade numbers and shapes. Experimental measurements of torque in front of the turbines will be conducted using dynamic torque sensors at different wind speeds, allowing for the calculation of torque and power coefficients from empirical data. Finally, a comparative analysis between numerical and experimental results will be carried out to assess the accuracy and reliability of the simulations.
