DEVICE WITH VALVES THAT TURNS WIND MOVEMENT INTO MECHANICAL MOVEMENT
Keywords:
Aerodynamic factors such as drag, airfoil profile, and wake interactions that often reduce the performance of wind turbines can be explored with computational mathematics using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). CFD offers basic methods and tools for simulating physical processes and offers important insights into flow data that are complex and costly to experimentally measure.Abstract
Wind energy can be described as a cheap, clean and renewable source of energy that is completely sustainable. With the growing demand for wind energy, it is productive to investigate the structural and operational factors that undermine the efficiency and performance of a wind turbine. Of paramount importance for the efficient production of wind energy is the aerodynamics of wind turbine blades.
