  1. 1. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Vatsalkumar Manavar; [2023]
    Keywords : Savonius wind turbine; Computational fluid dynamics; Vertical axis wind turbine; Overlap ratio; Distance between blades; Power coefficient;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

  3. 2. Two-dimensional Study of Blade Profiles for a Savonius Wind Turbine

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Johanna Sundberg; Martina Lundberg; Julia Solhed; Aikaterini Manousidou; [2020]
    Keywords : Savonius rotor; vertical axis wind turbines; Ansys Fluent; k-omega SST; overlap ratio; blade arc angle;

    Abstract : A Savonius wind turbine is a self-starting vertical axis rotor. It can be designed to be compact in size and also produces less noise which makes it suitable to integrate into urban spaces such as rooftops and sign-poles. READ MORE
