I am trying to simulate the rotor assembly of a vertical axis wind turbine using ANSYS CFX. Can anyone guide me by giving necessary information? I have only the basic knowledge of using CFX.
Hi, if you want to simulate effect of wind on the blade ,trying Ansys workbench multiphysics may help you. generate a link between transient structural and cfx fluid. you can also follow the tutorial for multiphysics.
I recently have done some simulations about marine propellers. But about wind I have not searched yet. and I think that the concept is the same for both water and wind in Ansys cfx.
There are several studies done on VAWT. You'll get several papers on google scholar. Kindly check my publication . I'll be happy to help you if in case you need something .
Thank you very much for your effort. Yes, I need your help and I will contact you in the coming days. Once my model/mesh is ready, I will send it to you. We can create an article jointly in this topic
Do you have any tutorial to learn about WT simulation? Currently I am traveling overseas and back to India on 31st July. I will send the model of the airfoil by first week of Aug., because my hard drive is in Trivandrum.
