The paper considers a variant of the problem modeling flow around developed wind turbine. Building CAD model Fig. 1. was carried out in SolidWorks environment, where main geometric dimensions were specified. Since task is reduced to flat task, 2D design mode chosen.

We investigate the suppression of the vibrations of a wind turbine tower using colocated feedback to achieve strong stability. We decompose the system into one model describing the vibrations in the plane of the turbine axis and another model in the plane of the turbine blades. In the plane of the turbine axis, we obtain a non-uniform Spacecraft Control Laboratory Experiment (SCOLE) model with ...

The blades of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) rotor see an inconsistent angle of attack through its rotation. Consequently, VAWT blades generally use symmetrical aerofoils with a lower lift-to-drag ratio than cambered aerofoils tailored to maximise horizontal axis wind turbine rotor performance. This paper considers the feasibility of circulation controlled (CC) VAWT blades, using a tangent...

Wind velocity distribution and the vortex around the wind turbine present a significant challenge in the development of straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). This paper is intended to investigate influence of tip vortex on wind turbine wake by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. In this study, the number of blades is two and the airfoil is a NACA0021 with chord length...

NUMERICAL SIMULA nON OF THE AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE OF AN H-ROTOR YanChen August 1 st, 2011 Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are devices to convert wind energy into electricity. Unlike horizontal axis wind turbines (HA WT) where the main rotor shaft is set horizontally, VAWTs use vertical rotor shaft. Unlike HAWTs, VAWTs can be effectively used in urban environment where flow is characterize...
