Analysis of The Airflow Around The Savonius Wind Turbine Using Computable Fluid Dynamics Method

29521

In this paper, savonius type vertical wind turbine designed. Velocity and pressure distributions of the surrounding air are investigated numerically. The turbine is positioned at four different angles: 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°. For each angular position, velocity and pressure distribution graphs were obtained at wind speeds of 3 m/s, 6 m/s and 9 m/s. The maximum air velocity was 21.33 m/s for 9 m/s (0°). For all pressure plots the maximum pressure was determined to be 86.36 Pa at 0° and 45°.
