Aerodynamic studies on multi-bladed S-shaped vane type rotor

摘要

The present research work concerns with the dynamic conditions of Multi S-shaped bladed rotor at different Reynolds number. The investigation on wind loading and aerodynamic effects on the four, five and six bladed S-shaped vertical axis vane type rotor has been conducted with the help of an open circuit subsonic wind tunnel. For different bladed rotor the flow velocities were varied from 5m/s to 9m/s covering the Reynolds numbers up to 1.35 × 10⁵. Finally, the nature of predicted dynamic characteristics has been analyzed by comparing with the existing research works.
