Characteristic of savonius vertical axis rotor in water channel

Abstract

According to the literature review, we can conclude that the study of the hydrodynamic structure flow around Savonius hydroturbine is very interesting. In the present paper, we are interested in studying the hydrodynamic structure flow around Savonius rotor. The remaining was organized as follows: Sect. 2 defined and discussed the description of our problem. Section 3, however, was devoted to numerical approach. In Sect. 4, our numerical results were detailed, and then we compared them with our experimental results. Finally, our conclusions were drawn in Sect. 5.
