0 ResultsThis project proposes a Diffuser–Nozzle Augmented Wind Turbine (DNAWT) to improve wind energy conversion. In this design, ambient wind first enters a specially designed diffuser with a smooth bell-shaped inlet to capture and guide airflow with minimal losses. The air then passes through a converging nozzle, which increases the wind velocity before it reaches the wind turbine rotor positioned at the nozzle exit. The rotating turbine drives a generator to produce electricity. The main objective of this project is to investigate, through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, whether the combined diffuser–nozzle arrangement can improve airflow characteristics, increase rotor torque, and enhance power output compared with a conventional wind turbine. The study will analyze velocity, pressure distribution, mass flow rate, turbulence, and turbine performance to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed design. This project is intended as a research and simulation study to determine whether the novel duct geometry offers a real performance advantage while accounting for aerodynamic losses and practical engineering constraints.
