Enhancing axial flow turbine wake recovery

Pete Bachant edited this page Apr 2, 2018 · 4 revisions

Mount vortex generators on the nacelle to create a similar flow field as a cross-flow turbine.

Also could try rotor tilt, though this will reduce power coefficient by approximately the cubed cosine of the tilt angle.

Use NTNU-HAWT ALM case to test this concept and develop optimal design.

Requirements

  • Must not increase frontal area of turbine
