Improving the performance of Savonius wind turbine by installation of a circular cylinder upstream of returning turbine blade
The effect of the installation of a circular cylinder upstream of the returning turbine blade on the performance of the Savonius wind turbine was studied experimentally. The experiments are carried out for Re = 99,000. The circular cylinder with a diameter relative to the blade diameter (d/D) = 0.54...
