The present study treats numerically the performance of a straight-bladed, vertical axis, Darieus wind turbine. A two-dimensional (2D), Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) simulations were performed out by the solver ANSYS/FLUENT using the sliding mesh method. Four turbulence models, namely the one-equation Spalart– Almaras (SA) model, the two-equation Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω, the Transitional Shear Stress Transport (TSST), and the realizable k-ϵ models, with low Reynolds number capabilities, were tested.The dependency of the power curve upon the torque coefficient and the Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) was evaluated under identical conditions to previously published experimental studies. The results suggest that the realizable k-ϵ model outperformed other turbulence models and matched better with the experimental data. Further numerical investigations were performed to determine the conditions for an optimal performance of the VAWT in question. |
