Hi guys,
I want yo do a wind tunnel blockage correction simulation for vertical axis wind turbine, VAWT. However, I still don't have clear understanding on how to do it. I know that the reson we do it is because wind tunnel and reality is 2 different environment so we need a correction factor/value. I was told to just use circular block (a VAWT) within a rectangular block(wind tunnel) 1)how do I set up the Fluent 2)what kind of values should I get from the simulation 3)to what do I compare the result with? Thanks. |
