10 KW wind turbine CFD simulation using Flow Simulation Premium. Design points: 10 m/s wind speed, rotational velocity 7.5 rad/s.
The rendered volume shows vorticity (curl of the velocity field). It is colored by dynamic pressure. Low pressure in the center of the helix shows very small wind speed.
Power from the CFD analysis was 9,854.96 W while the experimental power is 10,000 W, a difference of only 1.45 %, that too by using only 693,141 cells in the mesh.
Do you want me to make a tutorial about the simulation setup with SolidWorks Flow Simulation Premium?
