0 ResultsProject: Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) CFD Analysis This project investigates the aerodynamic performance of a small three-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) designed for additive manufacturing (3D printing). Main parameters: Rotor type: Darrieus VAWT Airfoil: NACA 0012 Number of blades: 3 Rotor radius: 80 mm Rotor height: 180 mm Rotor diameter: 160 mm Central shaft support with aerodynamic struts Intended manufacturing method: FDM 3D printing Objectives: Evaluate airflow around the rotor Estimate aerodynamic forces acting on the blades Analyze pressure distribution Investigate turbine behavior under different wind speeds Identify possible design improvements The simulation results will be used to optimize rotor efficiency, structural design, and overall turbine performance before physical prototyping.
