Vertical Axis Wind Turbine OpenFOAM Template
Dedicated mesh template for VAWT, Transient (pimple) simulation, with Arbitrary Mesh Interface (AMI) method to resolve fully 3D (also available for 2D template) VAWT case and calculate data such as Forces, Moments, and flow parameters (velocity, pressure, turbulence)
— Latest version tensorvawt-25.1
Features
What we developed specifically to simulate VAWT
Mesh Parametric Inputs
Simply define height, length, width, etc to get the blockMesh needed for VAWT simulation
Transient Solver
Fully resolved 3D transient VAWT to get forces and moments data over time.
Forces & Moments
Utilise forceCoeffs to calculate forces and moments that can be directly exported to csv format.
