  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 …
