Performance Study of Darrieus Turbine Using Numerical Simulation

Abdelrahman ABUALEENEIN

In this study, CFD abilities to handle Darrieus turbine simulation were assessed and validated in light of related experimental and numerical studies. Simulation methodology is based on two-dimensional modeling of a double NACA 0018 bladed, straight blade Darrieus turbine. Modeling approach, meshing procedure, and solution parameters are mentioned and discussed in details. ANSYS fluent 18.2 is used to carry out all simulations. Experimental test’s data from literature [11] are implemented in context of results verification, also, Courant number and y plus analyses were provided. Due to the sim ...Daha fazlası
