CFD ANALYSIS OF WIND TURBINE USING SHEAR STRESS TRANSFER MODEL

Abstract

A rotating machine called a wind turbine uses the wind's energy. One of the most successful forms of renewable energy has been found to be wind power. The cheap cost of wind energy is comparable to conventional energy sources like coal with current technology. Wind turbine generator systems that transform wind energy into mechanical energy depend heavily on their rotor blades. Commercial wind turbine rotor blades typically have an air foil cross section. When compared to the potential energy that can be harvested, these blades have shown to be extremely efficient at lower wind speeds. In the discipline of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), issues involving fluid flow are solved and analysed using numerical techniques and algorithms. The computations required to model the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces specified by boundary conditions are carried out by computers in Ansys.
