Experimental investigation of Savonius hydrokinetic turbine with different flow diverting blocking plate

Abstract

Energy extraction from flowing water has become very prevalent in the twenty-first century. This work aims to harness the power of flowing water to generate hydrokinetic energy. The numerous turbines were used to gather energy from flowing water and were inspired by wind turbines. One of the most common machines is the Savonius rotor. A laboratory-scale model of a Savonius rotor was produced in this work, and the rotor's performance was tested experimentally using a flow diverting blocking plate. The flow behavior and performance of a blocking plate with complete water flow diversion from a retarding vane are examined in detail in this research.

“…Hydrokinetic turbines with propellers are one type of axial turbine (Chavan et al 2021). With the increased use of power propulsion in the marine area, optimised propellers are being tested on a regular basis (Higgins et al 2022;Patel and Patel 2022b).…”
