The Savonius wind turbine bears unique features in both aspects of rotor structure and
torque production. Continual improvement of the Savonius wind turbine motivates the …

The Savonius wind turbine is a vertical-axis wind turbine invented in 1930s consisting of a
cylindrical drum with semi-circular blades attached to the drum. It is popular for its simple …

This paper has attempted to compile the assessment of flow field and aerodynamic forces
acting on a small straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). Two dimensional …

Hydrokinetic turbines are prone to a harsh hydrodynamic environment with intricate vortical
flows that elevate the probability of failure. The degradation of the blade surface caused by …

The last years have proved that Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are more suitable for
urban areas than Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). To date, very little has been …

Savonius rotor has many advantages over other types of the rotor, such as simple
construction, cheap, not dependent on the direction of the wind, and has good initial torque …

Vertical wind turbines are used in areas with non-stable wind directions or with turbulent air
flows due to the reason that for a vertical wind turbine the wind direction is not an input …

The current work presents the study to predict the pressure and velocity field distributions for
a hybrid two-bucket Savonius rotor and three blade egg-beater type Darrieus rotor vertical …

Kebutuhan energi dari tahun ke tahun terus meningkat. Hal ini mendorong berbagai pihak
untuk meneliti energi alternatif. Salah satu energi alternatif yang tengah diteliti dan …

Increasing demand in energy facilitated the need of clean energy such as wind energy. This
study was done to investigate the design and development of a micro Vertical Axis Wind …
