Evolving a Novel Blade Shape of a Savonius Wind Rotor Using an Optimization Technique Coupled With Numerical Simulations and Wind Tunnel Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The global adoption of Savonius wind rotors as an eco-friendly means of small-scale power production is on the rise. However, their suboptimal performance remains a significant challenge due to the generation of higher ...
Influence of Reynolds Number on Aerodynamic and Performance Coefficients of a Novel Parabolic-Bladed Savonius Wind Rotor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The vertical-axis Savonius wind rotor is known for its design simplicity, better starting qualities, and direction independency despite its inferior efficiency when measured against certain other types of vertical-axis ...
