This paper presents a review on the performance of Savonius wind turbines. This type of
turbine is unusual and its application for obtaining useful energy from air stream is an …

Vortex-induced motions are generally known as destructive phenomena for engineering
structures. Nevertheless, they have a positive effect which is their great potential to extract …

The Savonius wind turbine is one of the best candidates for harvesting wind energy in an
urban environment, due to unique features such as compactness, simple assembly, low …

Wind tunnel experiments have been conducted with a newly developed two-bladed
Savonius-style wind turbine specifically meant for a small-scale energy conversion. This …

For solving the world energy problem and the bad effect of conventional sources of energy
on environment, great attention allover the world is paid towards the use of renewable …

The drag-based Savonius hydrokinetic turbine (SHT) has an enormous potential for small-
scale power generation from free-flowing water and it can be deployed especially at sites …

The world adopts a policy of energy transition, which refers to the substitution of fossil fuels
by renewable energies to reduce CO 2 emission, however the major issue is to develop a …

Currently, the Savonius wind turbine (SWT) has established itself as a reliable wind turbine
solution, particularly for small-scale wind farms. It is a reliable form of power generation …

The performance of a Savonius wind turbine with constant cross-sections is examined by
means of quasi 2D flow predictions executed in ANSYS CFX. Simulations were performed in …

We experimentally studied the effects of end plates with various shapes and sizes on the
aerodynamic performance of helical Savonius wind turbines with twist angles of 180° and …
