Abstract: The design and development of wind turbines is increasing throughout the world to offer electricity without paying much to the global warming. The Savonius wind turbine rotor, or simply the Savonius rotor, is a drag-based ...

Abstract: The blade profiles and blade shapes of vertical-axis Savonius wind turbine rotors have undergone a series of changes over the past three decades. Wind turbine aerodynamicists have carried out numerous computational and ...

Abstract: The elliptical-bladed Savonius wind turbine rotor has become a subject of interest because of its better energy capturing capability. Hitherto, the basic parameters of this rotor such as overlap ratio, aspect ratio, and ...

Abstract: Savonius rotor, a class of drag-driven vertical axis wind turbine, has been extensively investigated mainly to calculate the torque and power coefficients (CT and CP) by various investigators. Hitherto, studies related to ...

Abstract: In the past few years, wind energy became the most reliable and clean energy source throughout the world. This research broadly has focused on the 2D design of the conventional (without slot) wind turbine blades as well ...
