Description: CFD Simulation of Savonius Wind Turbine Using ANSYS Fluent – Complete GuideBuild, Simulate, and Validate a 2D Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine CFD Model from Start to FinishThis hands-on course provides a complete and practical guide to performing 2D CFD analysis and validation of a Savonius vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) using ANSYS DesignModeler, ANSYS Meshing, and ANSYS Fluent.Course OverviewRenewable energy plays a vital role in today’s sustainable world, and wind energy is one of its most promising sources. While horizontal-axis wind turbines dominate large-scale applications, the Savonius vertical-axis turbine is particularly effective in regions with low wind speeds and complex flow environments.In this course, you will perform a complete CFD analysis of a Savonius turbine—from geometry creation to experimental validation. The workflow is designed to provide not just software skills, but also a solid understanding of the underlying fluid dynamics and engineering principles.What You Will LearnFundamentals of renewable energy and wind turbine typesWorking principles of the Savonius vertical-axis wind turbineCreation of accurate 2D turbine geometry in ANSYS DesignModelerStructured and unstructured quad meshing with inflation layers for boundary-layer accuracyApplication of Body of Influence (BoI) for precise wake captureTransient simulation setup using the sliding mesh method to model rotor motionUse of the k-ω SST turbulence model for reliable prediction of wake behaviorTorque and power coefficient calculation and plottingPost-processing using contours, streamlines, and animationsValidation of CFD results with experimental data from:Blackwell et al., “Wind Tunnel Performance Data for Two and Three-Bucket Savonius Rotors,” SAND76-0131, 1977 (Test Run 21, Configuration No. 9)Learning Outcomes
