Özet

In this paper, savonius type vertical wind turbine designed. Velocity and pressure distributions of the surrounding air are investigated numerically. The turbine is positioned at four different angles: 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 135 degrees. For each angular position, velocity and pressure distribution graphs were obtained at wind speeds of 3 m/s, 6 m/s and 9 m/s. The maximum air velocity was 21.33 m/s for 9 m/s (0 degrees). For all pressure plots the maximum pressure was determined to be 86.36 Pa at 0 degrees and 45 degrees.
