Industrial fluids often exhibit non-Newtonian properties (e.g., shear-thinning or viscoelasticity) due to additives. While existing studies focus on Newtonian fluids, this work investigates non-Newtonian droplet dynamics using a numerical model combining the volume of fluid (VOF) and level set methods to track phase interfaces. The effects of polymer concentration on the droplet impact behavior are analyzed. The results show that increase in the polymer concentration enhances viscous dissipation during impact, leading to significant morphological changes. Specifically, the higher concentrations reduce the maximum dimensionless spreading diameter, increase the maximum dimensionless height, delay the splashing onset, elevate secondary droplet positions, and amplify lateral deviation from the centerline. Upon impacting the high-temperature surfaces, the surface heat flux of polymer droplets initially increases and then decreases due to field synergy effects.

In vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), most of the experimental works are done on the Darrieus VAWT or Savonius VAWT alone. However, the experimental results cannot capture all the aerodynamic characteristics of the turbine. Therefore, computational analysis is the most powerful tool for reducing the time and cost of experimental analysis in this type of research. Recently, research on hybrid wind turbines is attaining popularity because such coaxial arrangements exhibit the improved efficiency and the better self-starting capability as compared to individual Darrieus or Savonius turbines. In this present study, firstly, a wind dataset was collected for different seasons and heights (above ground level) to get the average wind speed as an inlet boundary condition. Then two-dimensional simulation was performed on the considered hybrid VAWT using ANSYS Fluent. The steady analysis shows that the static torque is low at 90° azimuthal angle for the hybrid VAWT at different heights in all cases. For various tip speed ratios, flow visualization through a hybrid turbine showed that vortex generation is lower at the high tip speed ratio (TSR) as compared to the low TSR. At TSR = 2.5, all attachment angles achieve the highest power coefficients, which decline with increase in the attachment angles.
