A Vortex Model of the Darrieus Turbine: An Analytical and Experimental Study

摘要: A preliminary aerodynamic performance prediction model has been constructed for the Darrieus turbine using a vortex lattice method of analysis. series experiments were conducted express purpose validating analytical model. These on two dimensional rotor configurations which towed in large tank water. The use water as working fluid was intended to facilitate both flow visualization and ability measure blade forces while allowing operation at sufficiently high Reynolds numbers. primary this research allow reasonable predictions moments be made.
