hi
I had simulated a wind turbine using fluent and I want to calculate the output power(mechanical power) of it in different wind speeds . I don't know how to evaluate the output power. would you plz help me?? |

Power = Torque*omega.
Assume the axis of the rotor is in the z-direction, and you set the origin at the axis of your rotor, then torque is the z-moment. The omega is angular velocity you specified for the rotor. |

tnx a lot dear
it was really useful for me. i have another problem which my moment amounts are negative!!!! my flow comes from y- to y+ i had set my velocity inlet -11 and my rotation direction is +y would you plz help me??? |

i have got smaller amount for my simulation using your formula mentioned above. all of them are 100 order smaller: 46kw in stead of 4600kw would you plz help me to find the reason. |

i had done what you told. please take a look at this photos and check if my solution is converged or not. in this situation the torque is 44944300 |
