  Integration of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines into Urban Environments: Feasibility and Design Considerations

  By Jai Narvekar, Puja Sutar, Aditya Dhembare, Umesh Shingate, Siddhsh More

  Abstract: Abstract This study aims to comprehensively investigate the performance of Savonius rotor wind turbines through a combination of numerical simulations and experimental testing. Initially, 3-dimensional CAD software Solidworks and ANSYS will be utilized to design detailed models of the turbines. Numerical meshes will then be generated around these models using FLUENT software, incorporating the k-ε turbulence model to simulate fluid flow fields. Parameters such as drag coefficient, lift coefficient, pressure …

  Computational Fluid Dynamics and Composite Material Study on Scoop-Type Savonius Turbine for Train-Based Energy Generation

  By P. Mohammed Tippu Sulthan, Naveen Kumar, V Velumani, Devaraj E

  Abstract: This study investigates the feasibility of integrating a scoop-type savonius vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) on the rooftop of a moving train to generate renewable onboard power. The motivation stems from increasing demands for sustainable energy solutions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly in transportation. A two-blade savonius turbine, with dimensions of 0.4 m in diameter and 0.5 m in height, was modeled in PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 and analyzed …
