Effect of Capped Vents on Torque Distribution of a Semicircular-Bladed Savonius Wind Rotor
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To address the problem of the imminent energy crisis, pollution from fossil fuels, and global warming, it is necessary to incorporate renewable technologies. In that context, the drag-based Savonius wind turbine has ...
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 ...
