Abstract
This study examines how adjusting aspect ratio (AR) and adding triangular dimples to the airfoil can enhance H-type Darrieus wind rotor (H-rotor) performance under low wind speeds (4, 6, and 8 m/s) using wind tunnel testing. Results show optimal performance at an AR of 1.0 for both standard and Triangular dimple airfoil H-rotors, with variations at different wind speeds for other aspect ratios. Triangular dimple-equipped H-rotors demonstrate improved self-starting capability and a wider operational range of tip speed ratio (TSR) compared to standard rotors, ensuring reliability across diverse wind conditions. Moreover, the triangular dimple rotor achieves a nearly 13.6% increase in maximum coefficient of power ([Formula: see text]) compared to the dimple-free H-rotor at 4 m/s wind speed. This study underscores the efficacy of adjusting AR and integrating triangular dimple blades to enhance H-rotor performance, particularly in low wind speeds.
本研究通过风洞试验,探讨了在低风速(4、6 和 8 米/秒)条件下,调整高宽比(AR)和在机翼上添加三角窝如何提高 H 型达里厄斯风转子(H 型转子)的性能。结果表明,在 AR 值为 1.0 时,标准 H 型转子和三角窝翼 H 型转子的性能最佳,而在不同风速下,其他纵横比的性能会有所变化。与标准转子相比,配备三角窝的 H 型转子具有更强的自启动能力和更宽的翼尖速比 (TSR) 工作范围,从而确保了在各种风况下的可靠性。此外,在 4 米/秒的风速下,三角形凹槽转子的最大功率系数([计算公式:见正文])比无凹槽 H 型转子提高了近 13.6%。这项研究强调了调整 AR 和集成三角窝叶片以提高 H 型转子性能的有效性,尤其是在低风速条件下。
