Abstract

Magnus wind turbine has become one of the emerging technologies that could harness wind power even if installed in urban areas. However, the technology has yet to reach widespread commercial use because of slow research and development. This is due to the lack of computer-based working model that could analyze and test easily all potential designs and derive which among them could significantly improve and optimize Magnus rotor blade designs. The methodology involved simulation of a parasolid model using ANSYS CFX to reproduce similar values of the reference experimental data. Inflation meshing strategies were introduced to enhance the boundary layer calculation of the model. Various turbulence models were also tested. Results showed that the first aspect ratio as the inflation layer meshing strategy and Eddy Viscosity Transport Equation turbulence model were the settings of the most favorable and well-validated working model.

基于ANSYS CFX的Magnus风转子叶片空气动力学仿真CFD模型的开发与验证

Magnus风力涡轮机已经成为新兴技术之一，即使安装在城市地区也可以利用风力发电。然而，由于研发缓慢，这项技术尚未达到广泛的商业用途。这是由于缺乏基于计算机的工作模型，可以轻松地分析和测试所有可能的设计并推导出其中可以显着改进和优化Magnus转子叶片设计的设计。该方法包括使用ANSYS CFX模拟一个拟面体模型，以再现参考实验数据的相似值。引入膨胀网格策略，增强了模型的边界层计算能力。还测试了各种湍流模型。结果表明，第一展弦比作为膨胀层网格策略和涡动黏度输运方程湍流模型的设置是最有利和最有效的工作模型。
