The present study aims to explain the characteristics of a vertical-axis lift-type hydrokinetic
rotor in its startup stage. The rotor is equipped with three helical blades. The effect of the …

The flow-induced rotation of the modified Savonius rotor, for which the blade consists of a
semicircular profile and an elliptical shape, is studied using a series of unsteady …

The Savonius wind turbine has been identified to have low power and torque coefficients.
Numerous blade shapes and modifications have been proposed to improve its performance …

This study proposes a novel blade configuration, made with a multicurve profile, to further
maximize the advanced benefits and the performance of a Savonius turbine for energy …

Amidst growing global concerns over climate change and escalating greenhouse gas
emissions from fossil fuels, the pursuit of renewable energy sources has become critical …

A new blade configuration is proposed to further increase the performance of a Savonius
rotor through a sequence of unsteady two-dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamics …

Renewable energy sources are preferred for many power generation applications. Energy
from the wind is one of the fastest-expanding kinds of sustainable energy, and it is essential …

The Savonius wind turbine is known for its simplicity, outstanding cost-effectiveness and low
noise, making it ideal for wind energy harvesting in urban areas. However, its success is …

The aim of the current investigation is to obtain the optimum configuration of Savonius wind
turbine which results in maximum power coefficient (C p). In order to achieve that Surrogate …

Wind turbines allow us to harness the power of the wind and turn it into mechanical energy.
When the wind blows, the rotor blades spin, capturing available energy from the wind. Out of …
