Numerical Analysis Of Flow Fields For The Different Models Of The Shrouded Savonius Rotor, Alsaied Khalil Mahmoud, Mohamed Mahgoub Bassuoni, Mohamed Fawzy Obiaa, Ahmed Mostafa Khaira
Journal of Engineering Research
In this study, the effect of three different lengths (short, medium, and long) of flanged shrouded Savonius wind turbines is investigated three-dimensional (3-D) numerically by ANSYS-FLUENT. The 3-D numerical model of a simple rotor is validated by comparing the results with previous published experimental ones at the same operating conditions and geometry. The numerical and experimental results indicate a good agreement with each other when using the SST K-ω model with a time step size of 0.0025 s.The analysis of the numerical results of the three flanged shrouded models shows an enhancement of the torque coefficient at tip speed ratio …

Numerical Study Of The Effect Of Long Shroud Diffuser With And Without Plate Obstacle On The Performance Of Savonius Wind Turbine, Alsaied Khalil Mahmoud, Mohamed Mahgoub Bassuoni, Mohamed Fawzy Obiaa, Ahmed Mostafa Khaira
Journal of Engineering Research
This study presents the three-dimensional (3-D) numerical analysis of the influence of the plate obstacle installed at the entrance of the long flanged diffuser on the simple Savonius rotor performance by ANSYS 2022 R1. In the beginning, the 3-D numerical model is validated using the sst k-ω turbulence model with the previous published experimental results at the same conditions, and they are in good agreement with each other. The numerical results indicate the remarkable enhancement of the rotor performance at a tip speed ratio of 0 to 0.7 by using a flanged diffuser with a plate obstacle. The shrouded diffuser …
Spatial Analysis Of Wind In Jordan To Determine The Suitable Locations For Establishment Of Renewable Power Stations, محمد زيتون
Jerash for Research and Studies Journal مجلة جرش للبحوث والدراسات
The aim of this study is to analyze wind data in terms of speed and direction in 24 meteorological stations spreading over different areas in Jordan such as Jordan Valley, the Eastern Highlands, and Southern and Eastern Badia. Annual, seasonal and monthly averages of the winds data were analyzed to estimate the density of potential power in every meteorological station. The results show that the wind trends in Jordan are mostly the western trend. This has been found in spring and autumn with a speed ranges between 280-285º and 260-265º respectively. Furthermore, northwest winds were found in summer whereas south-west …
