Computational Analysis of an Optimized Curved-Bladed Small-Scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article aims to study numerically the effect of curvature of linear blade profile on the performance of small-scale horizontal axis wind turbine (SSHAWT). Rotors with two curvature types, f forward angles 5 deg, 10 ...
Enhancing Performance of Small Capacity Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Using Grooved Linearized-Chord Blades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the current article, E216 airfoil blades with linearized chord of a small-scale horizontal axis wind turbine are numerically investigated to enhance the performance of the turbine. The blade is modified by including ...
Experimental and Theoretical Studies for Improving the Performance of a Modified Shape Savonius Wind Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, measurements and computations are performed to study the performance of a 45-deg twisted Savonius rotor with a modified profile, at various overlap ratios (δ), aspect ratios (AR), and wind velocity (V). A ...
