Computational assessment of the influence of the overlap ratio on the power characteristics of a Classical Savonius wind turbine

An influence of the overlap on the performance of the Classical Savonius wind turbine was investigated. Unsteady two-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out for a wide range of overlap ratios. For selected configurations computation quality was verified by comparison with three-dimensiona...
