Among renewable sources of energy, wind is the most widely used resource due to its
commercial acceptance, low cost and ease of operation and maintenance, relatively much …

Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) are the primary devices used in the wind energy
sector. Systems used to evaluate the design of turbine blades and generators are key to …

The wind field around a 1: 1: 2 isolated building was predicted by large-eddy simulation for
evaluating the pedestrian-level wind environment. This study focused on the effects of cell …

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 …

Computational methods have been widely applied in conjugate heat transfer analysis. The
very first and crucial step in such research is the meshing process which consists in dividing …

In the present paper, the authors describe the strategy to develop a 2D CFD model of H-
Darrieus Wind Turbines. The model was implemented in ANSYS Fluent solver to predict …

Wind and gusts can significantly impact the performance of rotors and turbines. The transient
behavior of the rotor should be carefully examined to account for these effects. This paper …

The aerodynamic characteristics of a wind turbine change dramatically under the influence
of complex inflow and interaction between blade and tower. In this study, detailed full-scale …

In the quest for renewable energy sources, kinetic energy available in small water streams,
river streams or human-made canals may provide new avenue which can be harnessed by …

The Savonius wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWTs) that is simply
composed of two or three arc-type blades which can generate power even under poor wind …
