Hydrodynamic Performance Analysis of Vertical Axis Water Turbine (VAWT) Gorlov Type With Hydrofoil Thickness and Inclination Angle Variables using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Approaches
Abstract:The issue of renewable and eco-friendly energy has become the focus of research in several countries to encourage eco-friendly alternative energy. One of them is by using turbines to produce electrical energy. Vertical Axis Water Turbine (VAWT) can be an exciting research object because it has various advantages. VAWT has a simpler structure, can move at relatively slow currents and is famous for its tendency to move regardless of the water flow directions. In this study, the experimental turbine from secondar… 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.
