Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, there has never been more of a constant in the world than that of the demand for energy. For years a stable source has been fossil fuels, but with the growing impacts of global warming, it is important to look for renewable sources. Wind energy’s use has become more and more prevalent throughout the world.
This preliminary work runs through the creation of a three-dimensional numerical model of a conventional wind turbine that was created using ANSYS-Fluent© commercial software. This work provides the base wind turbine and a blade element and momentum theory …
