OpenFOAM: Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT)

[@armanhassanabadi769]

great job👍🏻
what turbulence model did you use?

[@NimaSamkhaniani]

For now, it is set for kEpsilon model

Hi Nima! Very amazing job! Could you please inform if this simulation can run in OpenFOAM v2?

[@NimaSamkhaniani]

It can be setup with old version of the openfoam, however it is recommended to use the newer versions such as OF10 or later

Hi! Nice job thanks! Does your VAWT move with a constant angular velocity or it is induced by the fluid? Greetings

[@NimaSamkhaniani]

It is a constant angular velocity

@@NimaSamkhaniani great work, how hard would it be to change it from constant velocity to velocity induced by fluid? In fluent this is achieved by applying the 6DOF solver.
