TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and shape characteristics of a helical Savonius wind turbine at various helical angles were analyzed using an incompressible unsteady Reynolds average Navier-Stokes (k-e RNG) model.
123 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a CFD study is conducted in order to characterize the dynamic behavior of a Savonius vertical axis wind turbine, which is executed using the open source code, OpenFOAM.
114 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of the Savonius wind turbine has been investigated using two different approaches: the first one is based on the development of innovative airfoil-shaped blades, while the second one concerns the use of a new curtain system, self-orienting relative to the wind direction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a multi-turbine cluster for construction of efficient patterned vertical axis wind turbine farms, where numerical solutions were performed for a single Savonius turbine, clusters of two turbines in parallel and oblique positions and triangular clusters of three turbines facing the wind forward and backward.
