Abstract:In a circular cylinder blade wind turbine driven by a longitudinal vortex, the torque characteristics of the turbine are greatly affected by the flow field at the blade tip. In general, wind turbines reduce drag by making the blade tips thinner. However, because this wind turbine uses a cylinder as a blade, it is important to control the flow field at the blade tip. From the experiments, it was found that the torque coefficient can be increased by attaching the endplate to the blade tips, and the rotational fo… Show more
