Hello guys,
I want to study a new wind turbine with vertical rotational axis. I think, on the base of the shape of the rotor, that a sliding/dinamic mesh is necessary and I would like to start with a 2D simulation. Obviously I don’t know the rotational velocity of the rotor at a specific wind velocity. I think that inertia forces can be neglected at the moment, but I have to take into account the torque end power necessary to generate electrical energy. The question is how can I setup this simulation? Can I relate the rotational velocity of the rotating mesh containing the rotor to the torque generated by the wind and to the torque for electrical energy generation? How can I do this? How can I make the flow to move the rotor? Do you think that this approach is correct? Thanks in advance vanni |

Then,
I think to this formulation for angular velocity ω that must be applied by UDF. ω t = ωt-1 + [Maer t-1 - M res (ωt-1)] / Irotor * Δt where: Maer= torque calculated on rotor due to flow Mres(ω) = law for torque due to electrical energy power generation Irotor = rotor Inertia Do you agree?Vanni |
