Influence of Confined Channel on the Self-Starting Capability of Twin Counter-Rotating Savonius Hydrokinetic Turbines in Tandem Arrangement
This research aims to improve Savonius turbine’s self-starting capability by increasing the static torque coefficient using several methods. In this research, a channel is involved and an additional turbine is applied to optimize the energy harvested from hydropower using numerical approach. To solve the governing equa...
