Problem Specification

Simplification : No airfoil, but flat plat with 20deg angle of attack

Picture of an actual VAWT.

Drawing, explain the simplifications (2D, etc). 

Specify diameter, number of blades, size of plates, angular velocity, incoming wind speed, 

Solve this problem numerically using ANSYS FLUENT. Present the following results: 

• Velocity magnitude contours 

• Pressure contours 

• Velocity profile at the outlet

• Torque

• NEXT: animation, etc

Describe what happen downstream of the turbine and think on how that would affect following turbines. Array.
