Abstract:This paper concentrates on a new configuration for a wind turbine, named KIONAS. The main purpose is to determine the performance and aerodynamic behavior of KIONAS, which is a vertical axis wind turbine with a stator over the rotor and a special feature in that it can consist of several stages. Notably, the stator is shaped in such a way that it increases the velocity of the air impacting the rotor blades. Moreover, each stage's performance can be increased with the increase of the total number of stages. The… Show more
“…They comparedthe coefficient of lift to drag ratio to find the better aerofoil amongst the two. Douvi C. Eleni, Tsavalos I. Athanasios and Margaris P. Dionissios [2] researched on the better turbulence model for NACA 0012 aerofoil CFD analysis amongst the three turbulence models namely Spalart-Allmaras, Realizable k-έ and k-ε and k-ω shear stress transport (SST). The research concluded as k-ω SST two equation model gives more practical results than the other two.…”
