文摘
- •
Wind over a cuboidal building generates a high velocity circular flow above it.
- •
This flow field is best exploited by a drag-based Savonius wind turbine.
- •
A three-bladed turbine installed above a bluff body has been tow tested.
- •
Tow test results have been used to validate CFD simulation.
- •
Installation of the turbine above a bluff body improves its cp at high wind speeds.
