Abstract:The wind turbines with a flanged-diffuser shroud-so called "wind-lens turbine"-are developed as one of high performance wind turbines by Ohya et al. The steady and unsteady wind turbine performances are investigated in the paper. The flow structure around the compact-type wind lens turbine is made clear by PIV and CFD in steady wind. Also, that turbine show higher efficiency than the conventional wind turbine. Furthermore, the performances of the conventional wind turbine and the compact-type wind-lens turbine… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
