The Savonius rotor is a drag-based vertical axis wind turbine and is used as an alternative
source in small-scale energy generation. Design simplicity, low-cost, easy installation, good …

In recent years, the energy crisis severally appears due to the enormous human
development. The renewable energy is a new source for world energy demand nowadays …

In this paper, the authors propose a novel vertical wind turbine named helical Bach rotor.
This rotor combines the helical rotor and the Bach rotor. The Bach rotor had a high value of …

The elliptical-bladed Savonius wind turbine rotor has become a subject of interest because
of its better energy capturing capability. Hitherto, the basic parameters of this rotor such as …

The helical Savonius rotor (HSR) is used as green energy generation. The accurate design
of HSR is essential before installing any wind farm in a region. It has been widely employed …

Determination of friction factor (f) in pipe flow is necessary for various applications dealing
with fluid flow. The Colebrook–White equation is the most accepted technique for the f …

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 …

Drag and torque coefficients of a stationary five bladed vane type rotor have been
investigated in this present research work by measuring the pressure distribution on the …

The present study explores the effect of using two porous deflectors on the performance of
the Savonius wind turbine compared to only one porous deflector. The numerical simulation …

With the growing demand of energy worldwide, conventional energy is becoming more and
more scarce and expensive. The United States is already facing an energy crunch as the …
