A Novel Parametric Modeling Method and Optimal Design for Savonius Wind Turbines

Under the inspiration of polar coordinates, a novel parametric modeling and optimization method for Savonius wind turbines was proposed to obtain the highest power output, in which a quadratic polynomial curve was bent to describe a blade. Only two design parameters are needed for the shape-complica...
