This study investigates the implementation and design optimization of a drag-based cross-flow reaction turbine (Savonius turbine) with helical blades. Using the computational fluid dynamics package of SolidWorks 2024 (Flow Simulation Module), the helicity index, defined as the index of revolution, was varied from 0.05 to 0.5 in increments of 0.05 to determine its effect on turbine performance. The optimal helicity index was found to be 0.25, yielding a power coefficient of 0.149. Laboratory testing of a 3D-printed model demonstrated a power output of 1.269 Watts at a flow velocity of 3 m/s.

摘要

This study investigates the implementation and design optimization of a drag-based cross-flow reaction turbine (Savonius turbine) with helical blades. Using the computational fluid dynamics package of SolidWorks 2024 (Flow Simulation Module), the helicity index, defined as the index of revolution, was varied from 0.05 to 0.5 in increments of 0.05 to determine its effect on turbine performance. The optimal helicity index was found to be 0.25, yielding a power coefficient of 0.149. Laboratory testing of a 3D-printed model demonstrated a power output of 1.269 Watts at a flow velocity of 3 m/s.
