چکیده
Wind turbines can freeze due to exposure to cold air. Ice formation on the rotor blades of a wind turbine reduces their performance. In the present work, the effects of ice formation on rotor blades of straight-blade vertical-axis wind turbines (SBVAWT) with a three-blade rotor and a NACA ۰۰۲۱ airfoil are numerically evaluated under two-dimensional transient settings by solving the continuity, momentum and turbulence equations become in ANSYS FLUENT. Grid and time step independence was investigated. For validation, the numerical model was compared with experimental data. An experimental ice model from the literature was then used to numerically simulate the iced rotor in two-dimensional transition settings. The numerical simulation of the icy rotor was compared with an ice-free rotor. It was found that ice formation on the rotor blades changed the velocity and pressure fields around the rotor blades at angles of ۱۸۰—۳۶۰°, changing the streamlines and increasing the vortices. Furthermore, the maximum and minimum reductions in moment coefficient during blade icing occurred at angles of ۲۲۵—۳۱۵° and ۴۵—۱۳۵°, respectively. Due to ice formation on the rotor blades, the power coefficient of the rotor blades at angles ۱۸۰—۳۶۰° decreased drastically, and the power coefficient of the iced rotor was smaller than that of an ice-free rotor. It was concluded that ice formation on the blades of the SBVAWT reduced the average power coefficient of the blades and rotor power coefficient by ۹۴.۲% and ۹۵%, respectively.کلیدواژه ها
