Abstract

This study numerically investigates the effect of multi-curve blade configuration on the performance of the optimized Savonius wind turbine. The simulation is performed utilizing a sequence of unsteady 2D computational fluid dynamics in the commercial software ANSYS Fluent 2021R2. The results state a high influence of the turbine performance on the multi-curve shape. The highest performance of the rotor is recognized on the blade configuration with the main profile made by a quarter circular R3* = 0.5 and a quarter elliptical section. For which, the power coefficient Cp is improved by 185.1% at the tip speed ratio (TSR) higher than 1.0 and up to 5.5% at TSR of less than 0.8, making this design better suited for wide working conditions over the previous configurations.
