NACA 0018型垂直轴风力机的模拟研究

he design of vertical axis wind turbine is simple; the control strategy is simple, and there is small maintenance workload, so the vertical axis wind turbine is got more and more attention. In this paper, based on the simulation model several kinds of database of vertical axis wind turbine are studied, and make the comprehensive comparison. The wind turbine airfoil NACA 0018 as an example, the experimental data based on field reliability, simulation using different databases, the simulated results and the experimental results were compared, research shows that, the power curve based on Jacobs data is more close to the experimental curve, so Jacobs should be the first choice of database in the vertical axis wind turbine simulation on vertical time. In conclusion, the work of this paper will provide reference and practical guidance for the related staff.
