Abstract

In this paper, a wind collection device (WCD) is designed for vertical axis wind turbine, and the WCD and vertical axis wind turbine are modelled by SolidWorks software and numerically simulated by CFD software FLUENT for the WCD and vertical axis wind turbine before and after installing the WCD. The wind amplification effect of the WCD is demonstrated from different angles and the final results show that the WCD can amplify the wind speed from 5m/s to 8m/s and double the rotational speed of the wind turbine in a certain area, which is of certain reference significance in the field of wind power generation using traffic wind energy.
