Comparative CFD power extraction analysis of novel nature inspired vertical axis wind turbines

The aim of this paper is to investigate the power extraction performance of three biologically inspired vertical axis wind turbine. In this study, the proposed turbines are simulated in 2D in Ansys using URANS approach based on two equation turbulent transport model-SST. The turbines are simulated u...

description The aim of this paper is to investigate the power extraction performance of three biologically inspired vertical axis wind turbine. In this study, the proposed turbines are simulated in 2D in Ansys using URANS approach based on two equation turbulent transport model-SST. The turbines are simulated under the similar solver and numerical configuration. FVM is adapted to analyse the turbines assisted by sliding mesh method (SSM) under nonconformal mesh configuration. The proposed turbine is analysed in terms of moment and power coefficient. Design 1 and Design 2 indicated promising result for a feasible and practical wind turbine. However, Design 3 indicated poor performance in power coefficient at high RPM value.
