A cross-flow air turbine is a candidate for use of a self-starting turbine due to its characteristic, high coefficient at a low tip speed ratio. In addition, it has excellent stability and low noise. With its characteristics this turbine may be more suitable at places where require low noise compared to typical commercialized air turbines such as Wells and impulse turbine. In this research, a numerical study of a small-scale cross-flow air turbine for OWC wave energy converter have been undertaken in order to acquire a performance characteristic of the turbine. Model scale analysis was processed to design a test model of the turbine for experiment, and 1/10 model scale was determined. The simulation of the turbine with a OWC chamber and wave tank have been conducted to seek a blockage ratio of the turbine. From the blockage ratio of the turbine, an orifice plate for efficient simulation will be applied in order to obtain a performance of the turbine. Then, it will be compared to not only aerodynamic performance of the turbine from previous study but also different types of air turbine. |
