Abstract
A relatively high free stream wind velocity is required for conventional horizontal axis wind turbines to generate power. This requirement significantly limits the area of land for viable onshore wind farm locations. To expand a potential for wind power generation onshore, new wind turbine designs capable of wind energy harvesting at low wind speeds are in development. The aerodynamic characteristics of such wind turbines are notably different from industrial standards. The optimal wind farm layout for such turbines is also unknown. Accurate and reliable simulations of a flow around and behind new wind turbine designs are required. The current paper investigates the performance of a mid-sized Rim Driven Wind Turbine (U.S. Patent 7399162) developed by Keuka Energy LLC.
