摘要: A Savonius rotor can be used as a wind or water current energy conversion device that produces electricity. In spite of their simple structure and assembly, turbines have less commercial appeal than other types due to relatively low efficiency. order increase the output power turbine, most studies only focused on optimization configuration installation ancillary equipment around rotor. However, previous research has found beneficial interaction existed between two parallel also augment each if they are rotating side by side. This paper numerically examines interactions among multiple with help computational fluid dynamics software fluent finds these coupling effects effectively overall turbine farm, especially when arranged clo...
