Darrieus Wind Turbine CFD Simulation using Dynamic Mesh 6DOF Method, ANSYS Fluent Training

The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from wind energy. The turbine consists of several curved aerofoil blades mounted on a rotating shaft or framework. The curvature of the blades allows the blade to be stressed only in tension at high rotating speeds.

The blades of a Darrieus turbine can be canted into a helix, e.g., three blades and a helical twist of 60 degrees. Since the wind pulls each blade around on both the windward and leeward sides of the turbine, this feature spreads the torque evenly over the entire revolution, thus preventing destructive pulsations.

In this case, a Darrius wind turbine with 6blade is exposed to wind with a speed of 23 m/s. The rotation of the turbine is modeled with the Dynamic Mesh 6DOF method.
In this simulation, the rotation is modeled with the Dynamic Mesh 6DOF method, which simulates the turbine rotation based on its moment force.
